Care Instructions for Handmade Wool Hats
To keep your handmade wool hat in the best condition, follow these care tips:
- Hand Wash Only: Fill a basin with cool water and add a small amount of mild wool detergent or baby shampoo.
- Gentle Soak: Submerge your hat and gently swish it around. Avoid rubbing or wringing, as this can damage the fibers.
- Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse the hat with cool water until all detergent is removed.
- Press, Don’t Wring: Gently press out excess water without wringing. Lay the hat flat on a clean towel, and roll the towel up to absorb moisture.
- Reshape and Dry Flat: Reshape your hat while it’s still damp and lay it flat on a clean, dry towel. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources that may shrink the wool.
- Store Properly: When not in use, store your wool hat in a cool, dry place. Avoid hanging, which can stretch the fibers over time.
With proper care, your handmade wool hat will stay beautiful and cozy for years to come!
