TAKING CARE OF YOUR NEW SOCKS / APPAREL
Unlike your typical cotton garment or other man-made materials, yak cashmere and baby alpaca do not need to be washed frequently thanks to their awesome anti-microbial (anti-stink) properties. Yak cashmere and baby alpaca products will remain stink-free for quite some time and can be worn many times between washings if you simply air them out between adventures. Simply spot clean and air out your Happy Yak product and you will be amazed at how long it lasts. A nice bonus is that less washing means you’re saving water, too
USING A MACHINE TO WASH AND DRY
It's fine to thrown your yak or baby alpaca in the machines from time to time, but we don't recommend it often because we want you to get the longest life possible out of your Happy Yak stuff. Just like other high-quality wool and cashmere garments we recommend hand wash and hang dry.
Let's face it though, we know you're going to throw them in the washer and dryer because it's easier. That's ok. Our products are designed to handle it. Just use cold water and delicate low heat to dry. Some "pilling" will happen after your first couple of machine wash and dry. This is normal and totally OK. The same thing happens when you machine wash and dry a nice sweater.
