Step 3: drying & steaming/ironing
If you’ve used a wool wash program with a low spin speed, the wool garment will come out of the washing machine quite wet (and heavy). This is why wool garments need to dry flat. You can speed up the drying process by using a towel and gently roll to remove excess water – without wringing! Wool doesn’t require much ironing, but if you still want to iron then do so at a low temperature and with a lot of steam to prevent fiber damage. It’s even better to use a steam device which will also remove bad odors and bacteria.
