Caring for your alpaca clothing:
Alpaca, while being a durable wool, it does need some special attention when you wash it. Here are our simple washing and drying steps:
- You never want to use hot water for baby alpaca wool, as the fabric will band together. Always use cold water and soak your garment with a mild detergent.
- Gently squeeze the item without wringing, which can cause stretching.
- Rinse well in cold water and carefully press out the extra water by hand.
- Use the towel method to get out the extra moisture; just lay clothing between two dry towels and then roll it up and push down to soak up the water.
- Lay flat on a clean towel to dry
And you’re done!
PS: Alpaca has natural anti-bacterial properties and seldom needs to be washed.
Caring for your cotton clothing:
While our cotton line is made to last, hand-crocheted clothing does need to be washed and dried carefully to ensure that it stays in top condition. Here are some simple washing and drying steps:
- If you’re washing by hand, simply soak your Miou clothing with a mild detergent in warm water.
- For machine washing, set your machine to the “delicate” setting and select the cold water option.
- Hang items to air dry.
And you’re done!
