Pure wool should only be washed by hand because it can mat very quickly when the scaly fibers get caught in each other. To prevent this, the anti-felting treatment smooths out the protruding scales with synthetic resin or simply removes them with chemicals. This makes wool machine washable.
However, the finish, which often contains synthetic resin, is suspected of being harmful to health and causing allergies. In addition, there is a high level of wastewater pollution, as these substances are very difficult to break down in the environment.
At LANIUS, we do not use anti-felt treatment on our products due to the health risks and environmentally harmful substances.
