About Good Made from Boiled Wool
Material and care labels boiled wool goods
A pure, natural product
Products made from boiled wool are a pure natural product, breathable, with moisture control characteristics and odour-neutralising. The fabrics have an isolating effect because they retain a lot of air.
New wool which is used to produce ompura garments comes from Austrian mountain sheep. This wool is exclusively processed in Austrian companies to manufacture the individual ompura products.
Due to the characteristics of this wool and the largely hand-crafted garments, the specified sizes may deviate up to 5 %.
Boiled wool production
The pure new wool is carefully cleaned and gently dried for further processing. From the wool flakes wool is processed into wool fleece, which is spun to yarn and coiled onto rolls. The yarn is dyed by an environmentally-friendly method. The shades of colour may differ slightly since the natural raw material may react differently. From the yarn the ompura products are knitted, and the original size is approx. 30 % larger than the finished product. Finally, the product is fulled. The product is fulled in luke warm water, and due to this process the wool is felted and compacted.
Care labels
Wool is naturally stain-resistant and needs only gentle cleaning so that the protective wool grease will not be washed out.
Hand wash
For hand wash please use an ecological wool detergent for your garments at 30 degree Celsius maximum (colder than body temperature).
Spin-dry:
The individual garments may not be spun or tumble-dried.
Drying:
After washing slightly pull your garments into shape and have them dried on a towel.
Cleaning in the laundry:
A professional and careful cleaning in your laundry provides a lasting basic cleaning.
Please note:
Boiled wool products may thin out at constant rubbing on the same spot.
