It's normal for pill balls to appear over time. These can easily be removed using a sweater stone, a pill comb or an electric de-piller.

Wool is incredibly resilient, but only if you treat it well. Never hang your wool garments as they will lose their shape over time. Instead, fold them and keep in a drawer.

One of our top tips for hand-washing your wool garments is to use a washbasin. If you wash it directly in the sink, you risk contamination from the residues that may exist from other cleaning products and/or food and beverages. Invest in a good quality, specialised garment detergent to maintain the quality of your favourite wool garments.
