hemp knitwear
1
wash
Machine wash at 30°C, cold water. Hemp is antibacterial, so an aggressive cycle is not necessary: a mild detergent and a small amount of fabric softener are enough.
2
dry
Tumble drying is not essential, but at a low spin it helps keep the hemp soft. If the hemp feels stiff after washing, increase the softener or the drying time.
3
lay it flat
Without the dryer, lay it flat in shape, never on a hanger: the weight of the water pulls the knit out of shape. Only in the first washes hemp may form some pilling, which is rare, completely natural and comes off very easily.
hemp fabrics
1
wash
Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle, turned inside out. Mild detergent and a delicate fabric softener, which we recommend. No bleach.
2
dry
No tumble dryer. Unlike knitwear, woven hemp shrinks slightly and sets its creases with heat. Hang it to dry in shape, away from direct sunlight.
3
iron
Always inside out, with steam, at medium temperature and with light pressure. Pressing hard on the right side causes fibrillation and surface abrasion: the fibres lift and the fabric turns dull.

2
lay it flat
No tumble dryer. The wool fibre felts with heat and movement and the knit loses its shape. Lay it flat in shape, away from radiators and direct sun.
