Professional launderers know that wool is sensitive. If you’re not careful and carelessly throw clothes made of high-quality, pure wool into the washing machine with other garments, it’s not uncommon to end up with a child’s sweater.

Care labels make it clear which sweaters may and which may not be put in the washing machine.
