Size chart Benodet - Breton striped dress

By comparing the measurements below with your own garments, you can choose the right size. The sizes are approximate sizes and measured in centimeters.

Washing instructions

Wool is antibacterial and odor resistant. Woolen clothing therefore does not need to be washed often. Hang the garment outside to air it out occasionally and it will freshen up quickly. If you still want to wash the garment, we recommend Texelana Wool Detergent . Always look at the label in the garment for washing instructions and always let woolen clothing lie flat to dry. Never rub hard when washing by hand to prevent felting.

If you treat your woolen garment as described above, it will not only stay nicer and last longer; you also save the environment by airing instead of washing.

Store woolen clothes

We recommend that you store your woolen clothing clean, possibly with a bag of lavender; this keeps the moths at bay. It is also best to store woolen clothing lying down, so that the elasticity of the wool is not affected.

Pills and fluff

Wool can pill or pill due to use. This has nothing to do with the quality of the wool. Pilling is a natural phenomenon that is mainly caused by friction. Wool consists of many hairs with a natural frizz (curl). Friction can cause the wool to pill and felt. When felting, the hairs join together due to friction. In fact, every movement causes friction. You often find the lint/pills on the sleeves and under the armpits.

New clothing may sometimes have some loose hairs left behind after the weaving and knitting process.

Unfortunately, pills and lint on your beautiful (merino) woolen clothing cannot be prevented. We have some tips on how to delay this process somewhat and how to remove the lint and pills. For this information we refer to our blog.
