Harley of Scotland Care Instructions

We recommend hand-washing your Harley of Scotland superfine wool sweater in lukewarm water using a special hand-wash detergent, rinsing it several times in clean, lukewarm water, and then gently squeezing it to remove excess water. Lay it flat on a level surface to dry—and gently reshape it while it is still damp. If necessary, iron it on a low setting, using a damp cloth to protect your garment. You can also have your sweater dry-cleaned at a specialized dry cleaner.

Do not use bleach or any type of detergent—especially detergents containing optical brighteners (OBAs), as these can damage the delicate wool fibers. Never mix different colors when hand-washing.

Pilling

Soft and luxurious fibers, such as the high-quality wools used in our sweaters, are made from shorter staple fibers that have been gently spun into wool yarn to preserve their luxurious feel and lightness. Therefore, some pilling is to be expected during the initial period. Gently combing the garment with a wool comb will remove the excess fibers, and the pilling will subside as soon as the garment is worn.
