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.
