Care Guide｜TENCEL™–Wool Stretch Rib Knit
(Technical Fabric Care Instructions)Fabric Performance & Care Statement
This TENCEL™–wool blended rib knit is engineered to balance softness, moisture regulation, and thermal stability for close-to-skin applications. Following the recommended care instructions helps maintain fiber integrity, dimensional stability, and surface performance over repeated wear and laundering.
Washing
- Gentle machine wash or hand wash recommended
- Maximum washing temperature: 30°C
- Use mild detergent suitable for wool or delicate fibers
- Wash inside out to minimize surface abrasion
- Do not bleach or use chlorine-based detergents
Technical Note:
Low-temperature washing helps preserve wool fiber structure and reduces the risk of felting or surface damage.
Drying
- Lay flat to dry to maintain fabric dimensions and rib structure
- Do not tumble dry
- Avoid direct heat sources and prolonged sun exposure
Technical Note:
Flat drying supports dimensional stability and minimizes distortion caused by fiber weight when wet.
Ironing & Finishing
- Iron at low temperature if required
- Steam ironing recommended
- Avoid direct high heat and prolonged contact with the iron plate
Technical Note:
Excessive heat may affect wool fibers and elastane recovery.
Handling & Maintenance
- Do not wring, twist, or aggressively agitate
- Avoid prolonged soaking
- Store folded rather than hanging for extended periods
Technical Note:
Proper handling reduces surface friction, helping to control pilling and maintain hand feel consistency over time.
Performance Retention
When cared for according to the above guidelines, the fabric retains:
- Soft hand feel and skin-level comfort
- Moisture management performance
- Thermal balance across trans-seasonal wear
- Shape recovery and rib structure stability
