How can you effectively but safely clean an expenive, hand knit wool Aran sweater?
I have a great old woolen Aran Sweater, made in Ireland. Had it for 20 years and it still fits well and shows little sign of wear. Funny thing is, I’ve never once cleaned it.
Is there a way to do this without harming or shrinking the sweater?
Use Woolite in cold water by hand or on gentle cycle in the washer.
Towel dry by laying it flat and strait should it !
