Dilute your wool detergent in cool water (max 30oc which will feel luke-warm) in a bowl. For heavily-soiled areas, use a little gall soap on your woollens first, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Add your woollens to the bowl, gently stirring and squeezing the detergent through. Rinse using water at the same temperature, otherwise your wool will be subjected to "shock" and might felt up.
To dry, gently squeeze water out and wrap your wool clothes in a towel to remove the excess water.
Air-dry naturally avoiding direct heat. So, hanging on a drying rack over the bath is good, or on a clothes horse, or flat on a dry terry towel.
Re-shape while damp.

Their factory is certified to Global Organic Textile Standards (GOTS) and has received the “IVN-Best” certification. They produce 50% of their own energy sustainably through solar panels too. Enjoy the great design, natural fabrics and comfortable, healthy feel of socks and tights developed with care and expertise over generations.

"A very hard wearing, if cold feeling sock. Not warm like Alpaca wool, very course feel of the linen I suppose. Originally felt quite large for my chosen size. After three machine washes at 30c over a couple of months they are now too small for my 10y daughter let alone my original size."
This was washed... my partner shrunk it
This was worn by... myself
"Wonderful socks. Pattern is gorgeous. Triggers memories of when things were natural and organic. Could be slightly more roomy a la the "Adult's Thick Knit Organic Wool Socks"line. But there's nothing in it really so wholeheartedly recommended!!"
This was washed... Just keep to below thirty degrees
