Troubleshooting
Garment feels stiff after washing
Ensure you used a wool-specific detergent and avoided fabric softener. Reshape the garment while damp and lay flat to dry.
Top appears to have shrunk
Merino wool can sometimes shrink if exposed to high heat. Gently stretch the garment back to its original shape while damp. Avoid machine drying or high washing temperatures in the future.
Color transfer to other items
