All G.H. Hurt shawls should be washed using gentle products suitable for sensitive skin, so are ready for use straight away. Due to the nature of the traditionally hand-finished products, knitted in fine quality yarns, please wash by hand in water not above 30°C in temperature and dry flat, away from direct sunlight. Scalloped edges will naturally relax after washing. This is normal and does not deter from the quality of the product. For a perfect finish simply pin out the scalloped edges, cover with a cloth and press with a cool iron.
