Cold wash. Lay flat. Keep it simple.
Almost everything Pook makes follows the same recipe: cold wash on a gentle cycle, no bleach, lay flat to dry. That’s it. The machine-tumble crew can keep moving — heat is what shrinks wool and frays sherpa.
If a piece picks up a stubborn stain (cabin chili, hot chocolate, the entire winter), spot-treat with cold water and a mild soap before the wash, never after.
What each thing wants.
Wool socks like wool socks: cold cycle only, mild detergent, no softener. Lay flat to dry — hanging stretches the cuff, which is the whole personality of the toque.
Turn them inside out so the sherpa lining doesn't pill against zips and snaps. Cold wash, lay flat to dry, fluff the sherpa with your hand once they're damp.
The fleece can take a low tumble, but cold water only. The hood dries last — pull it inside out for the second half of the cycle if you're in a hurry.
Sherpa-lined blankets do best in a front-loader so they don't get tangled around an agitator. Tumble dry low or air dry. Don’t iron the sherpa — ever.
Off-season, but still respected.
Wash everything before storing. Fold, don't hang — wool stretches on a hanger and you'll regret it next November. A breathable cotton bag in a dry closet is enough; vacuum bags compress the sherpa and it doesn't recover.
Pook does not believe in cedar blocks. The smell of wool is a feature, not a bug.
