Hand washing with wool specific soap is recommended. Lay Flat to dry.
Please note the Yak in this yarn is a NON-SUPERWASH, so we recommend hand washing anything you make with Bear Paw, including socks, to avoid any possible felting.
The garment should be washed separately. For machine washing, we recommend that all wool garments be washed separately on a wool program, to ensure the gentlest treatment. Centrifuge well and dry the garment flat, preferably on top of a towel. Never use a laundry bag when washing hand-knitted wool garments. This creates friction that can cause the garment to felt.
