How to Care for LambswoolWritten by Mark Shenton
How to Care for Lambswool We all love Lambswool, its hard to Image world without our old favourite knitted Lambswool Cardigan, we all love wearing Lambswool sweaters and feeling snug and warm when we have a nice, soft to touch, Lambswool garment on our backs. Natural fibres like Lambswool and wool are both highly durable and environmentally friendly, but, Lambswool and wool cardigans and sweaters may however be negatively affected by some components in heavy-duty washing powders if incorrectly treated in laundering. This is not to say that Lambswool and wool is in any way weak or inferior, merely that as a natural material, like skin or hair, it can be harmed by aggressive agencies. What to avoid There are two main types of ingredient that may result in deterioration of a Lambswool cardigan or wool sweater washed under incorrect conditions: Sorry but it gets a little technical here. Biological Detergents In addition to normal surfactants, emulsifiers, perfumes etc contained in ordinary detergents, so-called ‘bio’ detergents also include a small quantity of enzymes. These are protein digesting biological catalysts, and are effective at decomposing stains or soiling in which protinaceous material is main constituent. Egg, blood, and most other food stains etc are all protein based and will be effectively removed by enzyme-containing detergents. The problem is that like fur and hair, histological structure of fibre in Lambswool cardigans and sweaters is based on polypeptide and disulphide linked protein Keratin. This can itself be affected by biological components in some of these detergents. It is possible that enzymes may attack cell membrane complex of wool fibres, and lead to disintegration of structure into its component cortical cells, this leads to a hole filled Lambswool garment.

My beauty surpasses Nefertiti’s. See my sculptured body and delicate features. Yet, sex makes me more beautiful! Because I allow casanovas and strangers to explore my “triangle,” and ravish my “apples.” For that is mark of megastars and supermodels. Let moralists name me temple prostitute of Aphrodite. Did not Israelite women do same? So come you whoremasters even in groups, and let me indulge myself in full measure. For sex is beautiful!
