Your garment will last longest if you hand wash in cold water with a mild soap or even a few drops of your favorite shampoo (wool is hair, after all!) Gently squeeze out the water and lay flat to dry. If your garment is lace, gently tug on the points of the design at the edge of the shawl to return them to shape. Remember that wool naturally contains antibacterial properties, so you don’t really need to wash your garment unless you spill something on it.
