Caring For Your Lambs Pride Yarn Garment
"Lambs Pride" is a line of yarns manufactured by the Brown sheep yarn company of Mitchell, Nebraska. Lamb's pride yarn is available in two weights: worsted and bulky. Lambs pride yarn is actually a wool blend -- 85% soft wool and 15% mohair. Lamb's pride yarn is available in dozens and dozens of different colors, and is one of their most popular products. Below you will find some recommendations on how to care for garments made with lambs pride yarn --
One thing that many people do not realize is that wool garments need time to "breathe" after being worn-- especially after being worn for extended periods of time. This means that when you hang up any garment manufactured with lambs pride yarn, make sure that it is not bunched up too closely next to other clothing items. Remember also that wool is a natural product, so if you're garment has been made with lambs pride yarn you can renew its luster and smell by hanging it up in your shower stall after bathing. The moisture and steam in the air will be perfect for it!
Another thing to remember is that wool garments can be easily pulled out of shape -- so if your garment is made from lambs pride yarn make sure to store them flat (if they are made from a wool knit), and also make sure that if your lambs pride yarn garment is hung on a hanger, that it has adequate padding so as to prevent the garment from being pulled out of shape.
What do you do if your garment becomes soiled? While some wool garments can be hand cleaned at home using special-purpose detergents, my recommendation would be that you have any garment made with lambs pride yarn dry cleaned instead. Almost invariably, wool fabrics that are washed will shrink, no matter how delicately they are handled. Dry cleaning will eliminate the risk of your lambs pride yarn garment shrinking. If you have a problem with moths or insect infestation of your wool clothing, then dry cleaning will also serve to kill and remove any such infestation. When storing your lambs pride yarn garment you can also place cedar wood, various types of herbs, as well as traditional mothballs or crystals near these garments to protect them. A little-known fact about insect infestation and wool: the types of insects and moths that will attack your lambs pride yarn garment are actually attracted to areas of the fabric that have food stains and body oil on them. This means that the best way to keep your lambs pride yarn wool garment free of these pests is to keep it clean. Before storage (especially long-term storage) inspect your lambs pride yarn garment for food stains, and smell it to check for "BO" -- as it's a sure bet that the insects will be able to! If your garment is dirty clean it or have it professionally dry cleaned before putting it away in storage. You also want to make sure to keep your closets, bureau doors and storage trunks clean as well. It is always a good idea to put your lambs pride wool yarn garments in airtight containers when storing.
