  • Anyone got any advice on washing a merino wool jumper? Got a nice finisterre one in the summer (eBay, obvs) and I don’t want to shrink/misshape it. We have some of them mesh bags for delicates, would they be good? Not got much experience with this but did ruin the last wool jumper I had about 10-15 years ago.

  • Better to hand wash it.
    Take measurements beforehand and, ideally, make a hardboard or similar material frame with the right dimensions to put the wet sweater over when you’re done. Wool specific cleaners will have instructions on the label.
