Each fibre requires different care, so it is always worth reading the yarn label. However, a few universal rules apply to most handmade knitwear.<\/p><h4 dir=\"auto\"><a href=\"https:\/\/siulubangos.lt\/en\/product-category\/accessories\/accessory-type\/detergents\/\">Washing<\/a><\/h4><div dir=\"auto\"><div dir=\"auto\"><div dir=\"auto\"><ul><li dir=\"auto\">Hand wash or gentle cycle: if the label allows, it is best to hand wash in cool water (not above 30 \u00b0C). If you do choose to use a washing machine, use the wool or hand wash programme and make sure that the spin speed is as low as possible.<\/li><li dir=\"auto\">Use the right detergent: use a special, mild detergent designed for wool that does not contain strong chemicals or enzymes. Avoid normal washing powders as they can damage the fibres.<\/li><li dir=\"auto\">Avoid soaking: don't soak your knitwear for long periods of time. Instead, gently wash and rinse.<\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div><div dir=\"auto\">\u00a0<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"wd-negative-gap elementor-element elementor-element-8e3fcaa e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"8e3fcaa\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fd06791 elementor-widget elementor-widget-wd_text_block\" data-id=\"fd06791\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"wd_text_block.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wd-text-block reset-last-child text-left\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<h4 dir=\"auto\">Drying<\/h4><div dir=\"auto\"><div dir=\"auto\"><div dir=\"auto\"><ul><li dir=\"auto\">Never tumble dry: High temperatures and intense twisting can irreparably damage and shrink the knitted fabric.<\/li><li dir=\"auto\">Gently squeeze out excess water: before drying, gently squeeze out excess water.
