Wash the lambskin on its own to avoid colour transfer from other items of washing Drying Instructions: After washing, wring by hand and pull into shape. The lambskin should be taken out when the leather side is still slightly damp. Avoid placing on direct heat from radiators. Dry with care, wool side up.
