Fabric Care Guide
Thanks to alpaca wool’s naturally antibacterial and odor-resistant properties, you won’t need to wash your garment as often as synthetic clothing. In fact, most of the time, simply airing it out overnight is enough to freshen it up. Follow the guide below to care for your alpaca wool garment:
- Hand wash or machine wash on a gentle/wool cycle in cold water (50-68°F) using a mild wool-safe or pH-neutral detergent.
- Wash with similar colors.
- Do not bleach or use fabric softener.
- Do not tumble dry.
- Lay flat to dry and reshape while damp.
- Cool iron if needed.
- Store folded in a cool, dry and breathable space.
- Avoid hanging to prevent stretching.
- Try not to twist or wring the fabric too much.
Naturally Dyed Clothes
Although natural dyes are environmentally friendly, protective to skin and give pleasing colors, they do not bond with textile fiber materials like synthetic dyes. This may lead to slight color changes when sweating or rubbing and the colors may bleed a little.
We recommend using naturally colored clothing with other dark clothing or equipment like backpacks. We also recommend washing your clothing as little as possible, to ensure that the unique color lasts as long as possible.
Be cautious when using citric acid, as it may naturally bleach botanically dyed fabrics.
