It's time to change clothes
As we move into April, many people will probably start sending their midwinter coats and sweaters out for dry cleaning.
Hand-knitted wool sweaters can of course be hand-washed. You can also save the cleaning fee, and if you wash it with water, you will feel refreshed! However, commercial detergents are too strong and are not recommended for washing hand-dyed or high-quality yarns.
And lanolin is best for washing wool. Lanolin is a purified lipid component attached to wool. Wool and cashmere lose lanolin every time they are washed, but by washing while supplementing it, you can enjoy your precious clothes for a long time.
This time we will introduce you to the essential detergents and insect repellents this time of year. For detailed instructions on how to use the detergent, please refer to the product description.
