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.
