How to Care for Your Piece

written in Ecuador

Your poncho, shawl or blanket will last for years if you wash it only when needed, and gently. Here’s what matters.

Hand washing (best)

  • Cold water and a little mild detergent, ideally one made for wool.
  • Swish it gently, without rubbing or wringing.
  • Rinse with cold water until no soap remains.

Machine washing

  • Fasten any buttons and, if you have one, use a mesh laundry bag.
  • Delicate cycle, cold water and mild detergent.

Drying

  • Squeeze out the water by pressing, without wringing.
  • Dry it in the shade, laid flat on a towel or on a wide hanger.
  • No dryer or hot water: they damage the fibers.

Storing it

  • Hang it on a wide hanger so it keeps its shape, or fold it on a flat surface: first lengthwise and then widthwise.
  • Be gentle with the fringe when washing and drying.
