Washing Instructions for Perilla Alpaca Socks: It isn't heat that ruins a beautiful pair of our socks but too much agitation, so always stick to the wool cycle in your washing machine. The wool cycle has been carefully engineered to replicate hand washing and does the job better quite honestly than doing it by hand.

Our basic instructions:

• Wash on a 30/40°C wool programme on your machine. 
• Can be washed gently by hand in tepid water with a short spin.
• Wash dark colours separately.
• Reshape while damp.
• Do not bleach.
• Dry naturally - they do take 24 hours to air dry properly.
• Do not dry on direct heat such as a radiator or Aga.  Dry flat.
• Do not tumble dry.
• Wash in a net bag or pillow case.
• Can be ironed if you really feel the need!
• 90% bed socks will always appear a bit more crinkly than the other socks - nylon gives stitches order and keeps the shape of the sock. If the amount of nylon is severely reduced as in the bed socks then the order of the stitches is a bit more haywire. The sock will still perform perfectly.
