Wool is treated through a complex process of continuous soaking, boiling, and drying over several days, utilizing the extreme diurnal temperature variations found in the natural conditions of the Nepal and Kashmir high plateau regions. This craft is commonly seen in handmade scarves and shawls from Nepal and Kashmir. Each piece features delicate embroidery and marks of craftsmanship, making them impossible to perfectly replicate and ensuring they are unique works of art. Through this process, the wool fibers naturally felt and interlace more closely, while impurities are removed, resulting in a finished product that is: • Thick and full-bodied. • Tightly structured, resistant to deformation. • Exceptionally warm. • Less prone to shrinking. • Rich in texture with a distinct, firm feel. ✦ Washing and Care Instructions (Please Read Carefully) Boiled wool is a specialty crafted material. Proper care will help maintain its structure and texture for a long time. Please follow these care instructions: ✔ Use cold water or warm water below 30°C. ✔ Use a neutral, mild detergent. ✔ Soak and wash; do not rub. ✔ Can be washed on a "gentle cycle" in a washing machine. ⚠️ Please pay attention to the following points: • Do not use hot water. • Avoid vigorous rubbing or pulling. • Do not use alkaline detergents. • Always use a laundry bag when washing in a machine. • If washing with few items in the machine, select "slow gentle wash" to avoid strong spinning that can cause deformation. The key is to: 👉 Avoid sudden temperature changes. 👉 Avoid vigorous friction. 👉 Avoid strong pulling.
