WOOL GARMENT CARE

According to Pendelton Woolens, a premier manufacturer of woolen garments, washing  a wool garment that has been labeled "dry clean" can result in noticeable shrinkage and a loss of fabric smoothness.  Pendelton recommends drycleaning for all woolen garments because this care method is best for retaining the size, color and appearance of the garment. 

It is also important to recognize that shrinkage may occur in woven wool if washed. This damage is irreversible due to the overlapping scales that become interlocked from exposure to moisture, heat and agitation.  According to Pendeltons technical experts, attempts to forcefully stretch shrunken wools can weaken and damage the fabric. The only possible exception to this information is in the case of knitted sweaters, where professional wetcleaning can often compensate by tensioning and blocking a sweater, that has not been fully damaged, back to size.

In any case, we always take great pride in selecting the right care method for all of your fine garments.
