Wool and Silk for You

hat-scarf103

East meets West in this blend of Canadian wool and Asian silk.

Warmth and lightness combine as thin layers of wool are gently felted through the silk fabric.

Each piece is an original as it is individually handcrafted.

The scarves measure approx. 130x25 cm and come in summer or winter weight. The inner layer of silk pongé is surrounded by soft wool felt.

The soft wool hats are ideal travel companions since they nicely retain their shape.

Care instructions:

Pure wool is naturally dirt-resistant and does not need to be washed often. In fact, too much washing will damage the fibres in the long run.

In rural Europe it is still rather common to hang woolen clothes outside for “air cleaning”.

Our crisp Canadian winters offer a wonderful alternative to chemical dry cleaning: leave the garment outside overnight, even right on the snow if that is possible. It will be clean and fresh in the morning!

Conventional dry-cleaning is another option or use a gentle hand wash with wool detergent, roll in a towel and dry flat.
