Cleaning tips for finest wool fabrics

HINKING OF what to wear for

spring? With the resurgence of the

career suit, fitted jackets and the
unrestrained allure of short and knee-length
‘skirts, cool wool is the perfect choice.

The fabric is ideal for every season,
since wool keeps you warm when the tem-
perature dips, or cool on a warm summer
day.

Cool wool's unique properties make it
an exceptional trans-seasonal fabric that
‘can carry you through the year.

Cool wool is a lightweight, 100% wool
fabric made from only the finest wool fibres
.on the market. The international standard
for cool wool is set by the weight and qual-
: ity of the fabric. This delicate weave acts as
» a natural thermostat, adapting to climate

change.

:-{n warm weather, through a process
called “desorption,” the soft wool fibre
absorbs the outside air, and releases it next

to the skin, giving the wearer a cool sensa-
tion.

Cool wool is more than one type of fab-
ric. Look for crepe, gabardine. plain
weaves, and even gauze. Find it in plain
colors, novelty textures and patterns.

With a natural resistance to wrinkles and
soils, the care of cool wool is virtually
worry-free.

Caring for
cool wool

@ Hang cool wool in a free current of air
after wearing.

Give cool wool some beauty sleep —
time to return back to original shape.

@ Avoid stuffing pockets.

@ Hang jackets on shoulder-width hangers,
trousers by the cuffs. skirts by the waist.

® Use a clothes brush to remove lint and
surface dirt. Treat stains promptly.
