How to wash and care for your knitted garments
Woolen garments can last for years, but you need to take good care of them. Washing is hard on clothes - and especially when they are made from wool. A general rule is that wool should be washed much less often than other materials because it has a self-cleansing effect. Wool contains lanolin, which reacts chemically with moisture and salt and prevents the smell of for example sweat to take a hold in your garment as long as the clothes are simply hung out to air.
