Washing & Finishing Steps

1. 1Sorting and lot matching: Sort by style number, color number and dye lot difference, wash same batch and same dye lot together; wool-linen blends have relatively large dye absorption differences, so be sure to avoid color bleeding and color shading.
2. 2Desizing and stain removal in clean water: Warm water around 30℃ + neutral detergent, gently remove floating hair, oil stains and sizing; never use strong alkali or chlorine bleach, to prevent wool felting and linen yellowing.
3. 3Anti-shrink/softening finish: No milling; add hydrophilic softener (silicone-based/fatty acid-based) to improve the linen hand feel, reduce prickliness, and combine with moderate anti-shrink finishing to stabilize dimensions.
4. 4Dewatering and setting: Low-speed dewatering, strictly no wringing or vigorous rubbing, pre-set the shape while wet, to prevent felting, wrinkling and deformation of the wool-linen fabric.
5. 5Drying/tumble drying: Low-temperature tumble dry or lay flat to dry in the shade to 80%; avoid high temperature and direct sunlight, to prevent wool yellowing and linen strength loss.
6. 6Panel pressing: Steam press each garment panel once before sewing, medium temperature, with a pressing cloth, to eliminate wrinkles and stabilize dimensions.
7. 7Garment pressing: After sewing is completed, steam press the whole garment once on a mannequin to set the shape; control steam and pressing time, to prevent glazing and press marks on the wool-linen.
8. 8Re-pressing and finishing: Press the easily wrinkled parts such as neckline, placket, hem and cuffs once more, to ensure flatness, crispness and clean lines.
9. 9Quality inspection and packaging: Inspect dimensions, color shading, pilling, snagging, stains and pressing effect; after passing, bag them, and store with attention to moisture-proofing, insect-proofing and sun-proofing.
