Washing wool garments is always tricky, as this may cause both pilling or tightening of the wool itself, to the point of making the garment no longer wearable. First of all, the temperature! Wool garments must be washed only in cold water and preferably by hand. If you have to use a washing machine, choose a delicate wash cycle. Finally, turning the garment inside out is also a good idea.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choose the right detergent! Whether you are washing by hand or in a washing machine, always use a detergent with enzymes, as this &#8216;cleans&#8217; the garment from the formation of any type of fabric pellets.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When washing woolen garments by hand, do not rub the fabric if there is a stain. Use a stain remover directly on it, without rubbing or twisting the garment.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be very careful with Velcro. If the garment (or any other garment in the same wash) contains a Velcro part, make sure that it never comes into contact with the wool, as this may lead to pilling.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No tumble dryers! Wool garments should be air-dried, preferably not directly in the sun, and away from any artificial heat sources, including heaters.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>Emmetex wool, for conscious consumers<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wool garments need more care, however, they will also outlast any other type of garment, especially if they are well-kept. Buying a woolen garment means not having to buy the same garment over and over, as wool is a very durable fabric that will last over time. By doing so, you will also take care of the environment because you will reduce the need to produce new textiles and waste. Shopping more consciously, refraining from buying fast fashion products and choosing valuable garments and fabrics is the only way to fight textile pollution and, in turn, increase the production of organic, ecological and environmentally friendly fibres, such as wool.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the textile industry, everyone knows (and dreads) pilling, especially when it comes to wool, as this phenomenon is quite frequent\u2026 unless the yarn is of good quality.
