Care Guide

Kauni wool knitwear is designed for long-lasting wear, warmth, and beauty. Made from 100% natural wool and merino wool, our products are sustainable, durable, and easy to care for when handled properly.
Follow these wool care instructions to extend the life of your knitwear and reduce your environmental impact.

HOW TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR WOOL KNITWEAR

AIRING WOOL KNITWEAR

Wool and merino wool knitwear have self-cleaning properties and rarely require frequent washing.

  • Air your knitwear instead of washing it.
    Ideal airing conditions: cool, misty mornings with light wind.
  • Hang garments outdoors, away from direct sunlight.
  • If airing indoors, drape the garment over a chair for several hours.
  • Always let the fabric dry completely before folding and storing.

Avoid washing the entire garment if only a small area is stained.

  • Gently brush the stain without rubbing.
  • Dab with a damp cloth or sponge and mild soapy water.
  • Use special wool spot cleaners for tougher stains.

For heavy stains, professional dry cleaning may be necessary.

Hand washing is the safest method for wool garments.

Instructions:

  1. Turn the garment inside out.

     

  2. Use water at 30°C and a wool-specific detergent (no enzymes or bleach).

     

  3. Soak no longer than 6 hours.

     

  4. Gently squeeze (do not rub or wring) for 5–10 minutes.

     

  5. Rinse with water at the same temperature until clear.

     

Drying:

  • Place the knit flat between two towels to absorb water.
  • Reshape and lay flat to dry.

Avoid direct sunlight.

Only use the wool cycle with a gentle spin (400–500 rpm).

Instructions:

  1. Turn the garment inside out.

  2. Use wool detergent only.

  3. Wash one item at a time to ensure enough water.

  4. Select a wool wash program at 30°C.

Drying:

  • Lay flat on a towel and shape while damp.
  • Optionally steam using the “wool” iron setting.
  • Avoid tumble drying and sunlight exposure.

Dry cleaning is recommended for wool coats and delicate items.

  • Inform your dry cleaner about wool-specific care.
  • Avoid improper cleaning methods, which may damage the colour and softness.

Proper storage helps prevent damage and extends the life of your garments.

  • Fold and store in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight.
  • For long-term storage, use cotton or linen bags that allow the wool to breathe.

Kauni Design Boutique offers wool storage bags in various sizes.

  • Contact us for matching yarn and instructions.

You can also use our mending service or ask a skilled friend to help you repair your knit.

Clothes moth larvae (not the moths themselves) can damage wool.

Prevention Tips:

  • Use natural moth repellents: lavender, wormwood, eucalyptus.
  • Regularly air and clean storage areas.
  • Avoid chemical mothballs as they can also be harmful to humans.
  • Extreme heat (70°C) or freezing temperatures (-20°C) can eliminate moths.
  • If infestation is detected, clean thoroughly and store safely.
