Alpaca Care
- Can I hand wash my alpaca wool sweater?
Step 1: Fill a basin with cold water with a small amount of gentle, dye-free detergent. Eco-friendly baby detergent or shampoo is our favorite.
Step 2: Submerge your alpaca sweater and gently swirl for 1 min. Then, let it soak for 2-3 min. Gently press your alpaca to let out excess water, be careful not to twist or stretch.
Step 4: Unroll and lay flat in its natural shape to air dry.
Step 3: Lay sweater flat on a thick, dry towel. Roll the towel up like a yoga mat, pressing as you go
If any wrinkles remain after completely dry, use a medium heat steamer to remove them.
Dry Cleaning is always another option to care for your Alpaca sweaters.
- How do I store my Alpaca sweaters?
Store all your alpaca sweaters in reusable storage bags to protect you sweaters from moths and humidity.
* Tip: want to wear alpaca garments in direct contact with your skin but you are sensitive we recommend you to try this:
In a tightly sealed ziplock or plastic bag, leave your sweater one night in a freezer and you will see that the next day your sweater will feel softer.
