Expert Sewing Tip!
Wool has a natural tendency to shrink by about 4% once
exposed to moisture and humidity. We recommend pre shrinking your wool using
the steam method prior to making your garment. Avoid scorch marks by
placing either a raga cloth or cotton sheet over the top before steaming. Never
directly steam or make contact with the iron onto your fabric.
