DID YOU KNOW?
Contrary to popular belief, pilling is caused by wear (rather than washing). When fibers loosen, they form balls, which tend to appear on loosely woven wools, knitted synthetics, and blends. These pillings commonly occur in areas of friction, such as cuffs and where the arms rub along the sides.
They talk about wool when: There are fibers such as sheep's wool, lamb's wool, cashmere, merino, pashmina, angora, mohair, camel hair, and alpaca, as well as any wool blends and wool-like synthetics made to look like wool, such as acrylic.
Tumble drying is ideal for wool. Sometimes wool looks wrinkled after washing, but you can't iron wool. Instead, tumble drying (on a low setting) will release wrinkles and ruffle the yarns.
It is always important to clean wool before storing it, as perfume, body products, body oil, food and dirt can become embedded later and be much more difficult to remove.
Always...
Place the garment on a flat surface.
Work gently in one direction using short strokes.
Remove the pill before washing.Vittoria Profumi's tip: To use, glide in one direction over the target areas, shake, and voilà!
After washing, remove lint from heavier wools and thicker yarns with the sweater stone before storing in a breathable fabric bag like The Laundress Utility Bag.
NB. (For delicate knitted garments, we opt for the sweater comb.)
Never store using plastic, cardboard, drawer liners, and contact paper, as they attract insects and encourage them to breed.
