Read the care label for handwash, machine wash or professional cleaning restrictions.
Empty pockets, turn the garment inside out, and separate dark and light items.
For handwash-only wool, use a mild wool detergent with lukewarm water around 30°C.
Soak about 10 minutes, rinse with lukewarm then cool water, and avoid harsh twisting.
Blot moisture gently with a clean towel and reshape the knit.
Lay flat in the shade on a towel or drying mesh; avoid direct heat and hanging the wet sweater.
