How to care for a merino wool shawl or scarf:
Sponge-wash small marks with a damp cloth. If a full wash is needed, hand wash very gently in hand-hot water with minimal agitation. Rinse once. Press between towels to remove excess water and dry flat, away from direct heat. Do not machine wash, wring or tumble dry.
