Natural fibres deserve natural care. Mohair and wool are known for their softness, warmth and durability, but they need a little extra attention to keep their exceptional qualities. Discover how to care for your garments and enjoy their beauty for many years to come.
Mohair
Mohair comes from the Angora goat, is naturally breathable, and has a self cleaning ability. That means you rarely need to wash it; airing it out is often enough. With the right care, mohair lasts a long time.
01.
Air regularly
Hang the item in fresh air or steam it briefly from a distance. This removes odors and keeps the fiber fresh without washing.
02.
Protect the fibre
Avoid friction with rough fabrics, belts, backpacks, and metal accessories. Mohair is strong, but the fine fibers are sensitive to sustained contact.
03.
Hand wash only
No washing machine, no tumble dryer. Hand washing in cold water is the only safe option, followed by drying flat on a towel.
Washing
01. Fill a sink or basin with cold water. Never warm, as heat causes the fibers to shrink and felt.
02. Add a small amount of specialized wool or mohair detergent, or use a mild, pH neutral baby shampoo.
03. Gently submerge the garment and move it softly to distribute the detergent.
04. Knead the item lightly, as if working dough. Never wring, twist, or pull the garment, and don't let it soak.
05. Drain the water. Refill with clean, cold water and gently press the garment to rinse.
06. Remove excess water by laying the garment flat between two dry towels and pressing gently.
Wash only when truly necessary. Mohair has a natural self cleaning ability, so airing it out is often enough to freshen the garment.
Drying
01.
Lay the garment flat to dry on a clean drying rack or towel. Never hang it up, as the item will stretch under its own weight.
02.
Choose a well ventilated spot, away from direct sunlight and heat sources such as radiators.
03.
Tumble drying is strictly forbidden. Heat damages the delicate fiber.
Pilling
Over time, small bobbles or fuzz balls may form in areas with a lot of friction, such as under the arms or on the back.
Gently remove loose fuzz with your fingers. Only for stubborn pills, use a fabric shaver on the lowest setting, without pressing down. Then brush the item gently with a soft bristle clothes brush.
Never use a razor blade or sharp object. This damages the structure of the sweater.
Pilling is normal and a sign that it's a genuine natural product.
Storing clean
Make sure the garment is completely clean and dry. Moths are attracted to sweat and food residue.
Use cedarwood or lavender oil for moth protection. Avoid chemical products that can damage the fiber.
Fold your mohair neatly. Hanging causes it to sag.
- Store carefully and avoid friction with other garments, to prevent the mohair from felting.
Wool
Soft, warm, and timeless: wool is one of nature's most special fibers. Its strength lies in its natural properties: breathable, temperature regulating, shape retaining, and reliably comfortable season after season.
01.
Air regularly
Wool has a self cleaning ability. Wash only when truly necessary. Airing it out regularly is often enough.
02.
Protect the fibre
Avoid contact with rough fabrics, metal fasteners, or belts. Friction accelerates pilling and damages the fine structure of the thread.
03.
Hand wash only
No washing machine, no tumble dryer. Hand washing in cold water is the only safe option, followed by drying flat on a towel.
Washing
01. Fill a basin or sink with cold water.
02. Dissolve a small amount of wool detergent without bleach or enzymes. Baby shampoo also works well.
03. Gently submerge the garment and move it back and forth softly. Never rub or wring, and don't let it soak.
04. Gently press out excess wash water. Rinse with clean, cold water until the detergent is completely removed.
05. Remove excess water by laying the garment flat between two dry towels and pressing gently.
Wash only when truly necessary. Wool has a natural self cleaning ability, so airing it out is often enough to freshen the garment.
Drying
01.
Lay the garment flat to dry on a clean drying rack or towel. Never hang it up, as the item will stretch under its own weight.
02.

03.
Gently reshape the garment after washing while it is still damp.
04.
Tumble drying is strictly forbidden. Heat damages the delicate fiber.
