Handwoven from a luxurious blend of merino wool and fleece from the artist’s own alpacas, it’s irresistibly soft and beautifully breathable—while offering exceptional warmth without weight or bulk.

Merino and alpaca are both prized for their natural insulating qualities, helping to regulate body temperature and keep you warm even on the coldest days.

Care Instructions for Handwoven Merino & Alpaca Cowls

Your Ashculme Textiles cowl is a lovingly handwoven piece made from soft merino wool and fleece from the artist’s own alpacas. Naturally dyed using foraged plants, each cowl is unique, delicate, and made to be treasured.

To help preserve its beauty and softness, follow these simple care steps:

Washing:

Gently hand wash in cool water using a mild wool-safe detergent.

Avoid soaking for long periods.

Do not wring, rub, or twist the fabric—simply press gently to release water.

Drying:

Roll in a clean towel to absorb excess moisture, then reshape while damp.

Lay flat to dry on a towel away from direct sunlight or heat sources.

Storing:

Store flat or loosely folded in a cool, dry place.

Avoid hanging for long periods, which may distort the shape.

To keep moths away, store with natural repellents like lavender or cedar.

Please avoid:

Machine washing or tumble drying.

Bleach or harsh stain removers.

Ironing directly (a light steam from a distance is fine, if needed).

With gentle care, your cowl will stay soft, beautiful, and wearable for many seasons to come—an heirloom piece woven in the colours of nature.
