Here are the instructions from the website where I bought my HP cardigan:

Washing Instructions

How to care for your 100% Lambswool
Washing Instructions
Lambswool knitwear can be hand washed or dry-cleaned. We recommend hand washing frequently following these simple guidelines:

1. Soak garment in lukewarm water using a mild detergent.
2. Squeeze suds gently through fabric - do not rub, wring or stretch the garment.
3. Rinse thoroughly but carefully in clean lukewarm water.
4. A short, light spin in a washing machine will remove most of the water.
5. Smooth garment back into original shape and place flat on a towel - dry naturally away from direct heat such as radiators or sunlight. Do not tumble dry.
6. When dry press lightly with a cool iron.


I haven't tried washing mine yet (and probably never will because I don't foresee getting it dirty!), but this seems like a logical way to wash something delicate like lambswool.
