Why does wool become ragged after washing?

When wool is washed in a washing machine, it can sometimes result in matting, also known as felting. This happens due to the combination of heat, movement and moisture that the machine exposes the wool fibres to during washing. When these factors are present, the wool fibres begin to shrink and stick together, creating a more compact and dense material.

 

To avoid accidental felting, it is important to follow the washing instructions carefully. Always use a low temperature and gentle wash to keep the wool fibres intact. With proper care, you can avoid unwanted matting and maintain the softness and shape of the garment.
