ALPACA GARMENTS CARE TIPS!

ALPACA GARMENTS CARE TIPS!

How to take care of your Alpaca product! 
  1. Fill a clean sink or tub with cold water and a small amount of mild liquid detergent like baby shampoo or a fine fibers formula. 
  2. Soak the garment for 3 to 5 minutes, gently squeezing the suds through the garment. Avoid twisting, wringing, scrubbing, or otherwise agitating it, as this will cause felting. Dyed garments will have some chance of bleed, but since alpaca fiber takes dyeing better than most other fibers, this shouldn’t be a problem after the first wash.
  3. Rinse the garment twice in clean, cold water and gently squeeze out the excess. Be gentle handling it !!  Avoid wrinkles and distortion.
  4. Lay the garment between two towels, roll up the towels and set it aside for a few minutes.
  5. Place the garment on a dry towel or sweater rack and reshape (do not hang to dry). Let it dry away from sunlight and direct heat.
  6. If the garment is wrinkled after drying, you can steam it lightly with an iron, or simply hang it up in the bathroom, run the shower, and let the steam ease away the creases.
  7. Once your Alpaca garment is dry you will want to fold it carefully, avoiding a center crease. Never hang an Alpaca garment as it will stretch the garment out of shape. Lay flat in a drawer or on a closet shelf.
