Removing Stains from Lambswool
If a sweater has a stain, you can spot-wash it with a natural stain remover like vinegar* or lemon juice, but test on a small area to make sure the dyes will not change colour. Below is a list of common stains and what you can use to try to remove them:
-
Ink: Immerse in cold water
-
Blood: Blot with common starch paste and rinse from back with soapy water.
-
Lipstick: Rub white bread over area with a firm motion.
-
Chocolate: Sponge with soapy cold water.
-
Coffee or Tea: Sponge with glycerin. If none available, use warm water.
-
Mud: Once dry, brush and sponge from back with soapy cold water.
-
Red Wine: Immerse in cold water.
In order to dry a lambswool sweater, lay it flat on a towel and stretch it to the correct size and shape before drying. The sweater will dry to the size and shape you stretch it to. Let it airdry.
Remember that a wool sweater will shed its wrinkles as it dries, so generally speaking, it will not need to be ironed. If you do need to iron it, always use steam, and iron the sweater inside out. Only apply an iron to damp wool, never when a sweater is totally dry. You can also easily "refresh" wool by hanging it in your steamy bathroom after a bath or shower.
Lambswool is a wool which is 50mm or shorter from the first shearing of a sheep at around the age of seven months. It is soft, elastic, and slippery, and is used in high-grade textiles.
