Care Instructions for Engel Wool & Wool/Silk Garments

Proper care ensures that your wool and wool/silk garments stay soft, durable, and comfortable. Follow these guidelines for the best results:

Before First Use

Our products do not need to be washed before wearing. After the knitting process, fabrics are pre-washed to remove any excess dye residues, knitting oils, and dirt.

All our garments are made using 100% ecologically sound methods without harmful chemicals or textile finishes. We adhere to the strict IVN BEST and GOTS certification standards, ensuring that our dyes are safe and free from substances that could cause skin irritation or harm the environment.

General Care Guidelines

• Always use a wool-specific detergent, as it is enzyme-free (protease-free) and pH-neutral, preserving the integrity of wool fibers.
• For a quick hand wash, a gentle, natural shampoo can be a good alternative.
• Always check the garment's care label for specific washing instructions.

Hand-Washing Wool & Wool/Silk

1. Fill a basin with lukewarm water and add a mild wool detergent.
2. Gently swirl the garment in the water—do not rub, wring, or soak.
3. Rinse in water of the same temperature to prevent shock to the fibers.
4. Avoid using a tumble dryer or placing the item on a radiator, as heat can cause felting and stiffness.
5. After rinsing, gently squeeze out excess water using a clean towel, reshape the garment while damp, and lay flat to dry.

Machine-Washing Wool & Wool/Silk

• Use the Wool Wash or Hand Wash cycle at cold or max. 30°C (86°F).
• Ensure the wash and rinse temperatures remain consistent to prevent shrinkage.
• Use a low spin setting (max. 400 rpm) or an interval spin for wool.
• Always use a wool-specific detergent to maintain the fibers' natural properties.
• Do not dry in a tumble dryer or on direct heat sources like radiators.

Care Instructions for Wool Fleece

• Machine washable at 30°C on the wool cycle.
• Thanks to a special finishing process—free from harmful chemicals—wool fleece is machine washable while maintaining its natural properties.
• Wool fleece garments naturally regenerate when aired out, minimizing the need for frequent washing. The fiber structure prevents odor bacteria from settling.
• If washing is necessary, follow standard wool cycle guidelines, using a wool detergent and a low spin speed (max. 400 rpm).
• Do not tumble dry or place on heaters, as heat can make wool hard and brittle.
• After washing, gently press out excess water using a towel, reshape while damp, and lay flat to dry.

Care Instructions for Boiled Wool

• Boiled wool requires minimal washing due to its self-cleaning properties. Simply air it out to refresh it.
• If washing is necessary, use the wool cycle at cold or max. 30°C with a wool detergent.
• Spin only at a low speed (max. 400 rpm) or use an interval spin for wool.
• Avoid tumble drying and direct heat sources, as these can damage the fibers.
• Reshape while damp and dry flat.
• Optional: For added weather resistance, boiled wool can be treated with a light lanolin bath after washing. This enhances its natural water-repellent properties.

By following these care instructions, you can ensure your wool garments remain soft, functional, and long-lasting.

Wie pflegen Sie Ihre Produkte aus Merinowolle?

Merino muss im Vergleich zu Baumwolle und synthetischen Stoffen viel weniger gewaschen werden. Oft reicht es aus, Ihr Merino-Kleidungsstück einfach für ein paar Stunden draußen auf die Leine zu hängen, um es zu erfrischen und zu erneuern. Denn es atmet besser als jedes andere Material und ist von Natur aus antibakteriell und geruchshemmend.

Regelmäßiges Lüften Ihres Babys in Merino Schlafsäcken hält es frisch. Wenn Sie Ihre Kleidungsstücke waschen, achten Sie immer darauf, die Anweisungen auf dem Etikett zu befolgen.

• Verwenden Sie umweltfreundliche Reinigungsmittel . Wolle vorzugsweise von Hand in lauwarmem Wasser oder im Schonwaschgang waschen, max. 30 °C (90 °F) .
• Weichen Sie Ihre Merino-Kleidung niemals ein, da dies die Wollfasern zerstört.
• Nur sanft schleudern und nicht im Trockner trocknen.
• In feuchtem Zustand formen und flach auf einem Handtuch trocknen .
• Trocknen Sie Wolle nicht in direktem Sonnenlicht oder in der Nähe einer Heizquelle.
• Wollkleidung zum Schutz vor Motten in einem verschlossenen Plastikbeutel aufbewahren, wenn sie nicht verwendet wird.
• Wir empfehlen, Ihre Wollkleidung mit umweltfreundlichem Wollconditioner zu behandeln, um ihre Weichheit und Fähigkeit, Feuchtigkeit aufzunehmen, zu erhalten.

Pilling

Da unsere Wolle nicht mit einer synthetischen Beschichtung behandelt wurde, kann es zu Pilling kommen.
Wenn Pilling auftritt, verzweifeln Sie nicht. Dies ist ein natürlicher Prozess, bei dem die kurzen Fasern durch Reibung an die Oberfläche wandern.
