How to take care of your wool clothing?

At Winikart, we believe in the enduring beauty and sustainability of handloom wool. Each piece you own is a testament to the artistry of skilled artisans, and with proper care, it can last for generations. Here's how to cherish your handloom wool garments:

Washing

  • Less is More: Wool is naturally dirt-repellent, so frequent washing isn't necessary.
  • Gentle Handwashing: When needed, handwash your garment in cool water with a mild detergent specifically designed for wool.
  • No Machine Washing: Avoid machine washing, as it can damage the delicate fibers of handloom wool.
  • Drying Flat: Reshape and lay your garment flat to dry on a clean towel. Avoid hanging, as it can cause stretching.

Everyday Care

  • Airing Out: Freshen up your wool garments by airing them out regularly. A gentle breeze works wonders!
  • Steaming: If wrinkles appear, use a steamer to smooth them out.
  • Lint Removal: Use a lint brush or a lint roller to remove any lint or pilling.

Preserving Your Handloom Wool

  • Proper Storage: Store your wool garments folded in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  • Pest Protection: To prevent moth damage, consider using natural moth repellents like cedarwood or lavender sachets.
  • Repair with Love: If a small hole or tear appears, mend it promptly to prevent further damage.
