Characteristics and care of Wool Felt

Wool has a naturally repellent surface because of the fiber's protective outer layer; it keeps dirt and liquid spills at bay. When cleaning is required and for best results,we recommend dry cleaning.

 

Other cleaning tips*

• Some liquid stains can be blotted out with a damp sponge or cloth as the fabric will initially repel liquid.
• A soft clothes brush may also remove some dried-in surface dirt.
• The steam from a kettle may also remove some dried-in surface dirt. Place the stained area over the steam (minding your fingers!), when dirt has lifted, brush off gently with a soft clothes brush.
• While we do not recommend regular washing, this product can be handwashed in lukewarm water with a wool safe detergent like all wool products on an occasional basis. For minimal impact, try washing just the stained area first. Do not soak. Dry Flat on a non-porous surface and out of direct sunlight. For placemat and coaster sets, place the coaster in the placemat while wet and allow to dry in position to ensure proper fit. Use a cool dry Iron.*While we endeavor to provide you with as much information as possible and tips shared with us from users, dry cleaning will provide the best results.

Wool fabrics are durable Properly cared for, they will last a very long time, making wool fabrics a good investment.

Water-Resistant Because of lanolin in the wool, the fabric repels water. It's almost impossible to get felted wool wet without keeping it underneath the water

Wool fabrics clean easily because dirt sits on the surface of the fiber The outside surface of the wool fiber consists of a series of overlapping scales, similar to the feathers on a bird, making it easy to brush off and for stains to lift out of it. Wool fabric doesn't collect much static because of its absorbent fibers. Static attracts lint, dirt, and dust.

Wool fabrics resist wrinkles Wool has a natural crimp making it the most resilient fiber. You can count on wool to keep its shape.

Flame-Retardant Wool is the only fiber that naturally resists flaming.
