To wash this soft, mostly wool stole, we recommend hand-washing with a detergent suitable for wool, in water that's not too hot. To rinse, do not wring the scarf, but place it in a towel for a short time before laying it flat. Ironing should be done with an iron that's not too hot, and steam to restore all the properties of the natural materials it's made from. Tumble-drying is forbidden, but dry-cleaning is permitted.
