The short version

• Wash at 30 degrees on a wool programme
• Use mild wool detergent
• Tumble dry - Only applies to Byhappyme's own products
• Always follow the washing instructions 

Byhappyme recommends washing at 30 degrees and using mild wool detergent. 

Our wool range is tumble dryer safe, but will stay best and look best if stretched when wet and left to dry. The choice is yours and both can be equally correct.

Skip a wash if there are no stains on the garment. Wool regenerates itself and airing outdoors overnight can be a great option.

The slightly longer explanation

Merino wool is known for its softness and insulation properties, and a gentle treatment is a good idea to preserve its quality over time. When washing merino wool, it is first and foremost important to follow the washing instructions on the garment carefully, as these instructions are specifically designed to preserve the material's properties as much as possible.

Merino wool should be washed at a low temperature, preferably around 30 degrees, to avoid shrinkage and damage to the fibres. It's important to use a mild wool detergent, as regular detergent can be too harsh and damage the wool's natural oils.

You can be a little extra gentle on the wool by reducing the spin speed during washing. Byhappyme recommends 800 revolutions if you want to minimise unnecessary wear. By reducing the revolutions to 800, the fibres of the Merino wool will remain intact and the durability of the product will be extended.

Byhappyme's wool quality can be tumble dried. However, this will expose the garment to extra wear and tear and thus shorten its lifespan slightly. It is therefore recommended to air dry the garment overnight as an alternative. This will also help maintain the shape and elasticity of the garment.

Following these guidelines will ensure that your Merino wool garments remain soft, dimensionally stable and functional for a long time.
