How to care for merino without ruining it

Wool cycle, low spin, lay flat. No tumble dryer, ever.

## The short version Cold wash, wool cycle, low-spin, lay flat to dry. No tumble drying. ## The longer version Merino fibres have a scale structure. Heat + agitation = scales lock together = felting = a jumper that now fits your cat. ## Re-blocking If you pulled a merino out of shape on the washing line, lay it flat on a towel, pat it back to the right dimensions, leave overnight. It comes back.
