We recommend that all hand-knitted garments be washed separately to ensure the most gentle treatment. The strength of cotton increases when wet. This means that hand-knitted garments made of cotton can be washed at higher temperatures. Centrifuge well and dry the garment flat, preferably on top of a towel.
