To properly care for your alpaca clothing and ensure its longevity, follow these simple steps:
- Hand wash or dry clean: We recommend hand washing or dry cleaning all of our alpaca garments. If you do decide to hand wash, use cold water and a gentle detergent. Gently squeeze the garment, but do not wring or twist it, and then rinse thoroughly.
- Dry flat: After washing, reshape the garment and lay it flat on a clean towel to dry. Avoid hanging your alpaca clothing, as it can cause stretching and deformation.
- Store properly: To prevent moths from damaging your alpaca clothing, store it in a sealed plastic bag with cedar chips or lavender sachets. Do not store it in direct sunlight or in damp areas.
- Remove pills: Over time, alpaca garments may develop pills. Use a fabric shaver or a soft brush to carefully remove them.
- Handle with care: Alpaca fiber is delicate and can be easily damaged by sharp objects, so be careful when wearing or storing your garments.
By following these simple care instructions, you can enjoy your alpaca clothing for many years to come.
