Hand-washing is usually recommended for these lovely hand-knitted sweaters. Use any gentle detergent (Ezee) and a few cups of cold water, you can hand-wash your sweater and keep it from shrinking and stretching. Apply the following steps to hand-wash your sweater and extend the life of the garment.

• Make a mixture of cool water and mild detergent in the tub. Use just enough water into the tub to mix with the detergent. For a medium to large sweater, a tablespoon of detergent is sufficient. A small sweater will only require half of the amount of detergent required to clean a large-sized sweater.
• Swish the sweater in cool, sudsy water. Swirl the sweater in the soapy water until the garment is completely wet. After few minutes of swirling, soaking and light rubbing remove the sweater from the mixture.
• Rinse the sweater in cold water. Empty the tub filled with the soap and water mixture. Fill the tub again with cold water. Immerse the sweater under the cold water until it is completely soaked. Rinse the sweater until the water is free from soap.
• Remove water from the sweater. Hold the sweater and squeeze it gently to allow the water to drain from the sweater. Do not wring the sweater to remove the water. Roll the sweater in a towel to remove any residual water. If the sweater is still wet, repeat this step until the sweater is dry. Press out any remaining water before you move on to next step.
• Lay the sweater flat on another towel to dry in shade. Wet wool can stretch, so take care to arrange the sweater with the arms away from the body to retain its natural shape. Drying time can range from 12 to 72 hours, depending on the thickness of the sweater and its weight.
