Care And Keeping
Pre-wash (20–40°C) before cutting to minimise shrinkage
Wash inside-out with similar colours; line dry or low tumble - I tend to do both. I start the prewashed fabric in the tumble dryer for 10-20 minutes then finish on the washing line
Light steam on reverse to lift the brushed pile after laundering
Do not Dry Clean
