WOOL & SILK
Wallace Sewell recommends only dry-cleaning their products, as the agitation of washing may alter the products’ finish.
However, if you need to hand wash smaller items, it is possible to do this using cold water and a gentle detergent. Heat and agitation cause wool to shrink or ‘felt’, so make sure you wash gently in cool water and never rub or wring the wool.
Use a specialized non-biological detergent that will help protect the natural oils in the wool. Never use fabric softener.
Wool as a fiber, keeps itself clean naturally, expelling odors through moisture control and is naturally stain and wrinkle resistant. It’s also naturally hypoallergenic and a great insulator --keeping you warm when it’s cold but releasing warmth when you’re hot-- so you shouldn’t need to wash your items as much as you may think. Airing is the best way to freshen up any lingering odours. -
"As textile designers we love fabrics and hate to see any going to waste. We work hard to minimize waste in our production process and endeavor to use our textile by-products in creative ways." --Wallace Sewell
Wallace Sewell scarves are woven with a selvedge running down either side of the fabric. The selvedge stabilizes the fabric while in loom and when it's washed. When processing the scarves, the selvedge is cut off, which is re-purposed into the Ribbon Bundles, which you can buy here.
When fabric rolls return to the workroom to be processed at the mill, the additional fabric is cut off. This is then repurposed into their One-Off cushions and in their Off-cut Fabric Bags.
