Wool Care & Longevity

In Norway, we don’t just wear wool. We live in it. These pieces are designed to be heirlooms passed down from sibling to sibling, surviving years of Ottawa winters. But the secret to wool that lasts a decade lies in the ritual of care.

By choosing organic lanolin and gentle cleansers, you aren't just washing a garment. You are nourishing the fibers and maintaining the natural magic of the fleece.

Lanolin is the natural wax found in sheep's wool that keeps the animal dry and warm. During the cleaning process, some of this magic is lost. By lanolizing your Disana woolens, you are essentially "resetting" the fibers.

It restores the wool's ability to repel moisture and neutralize odors, meaning you can spend more time playing in the snow and less time doing laundry.

When the Ottawa humidity hits and the wool goes into hibernation, storage is key. Always ensure your wool is completely clean and dry before storing.

We recommend airtight bins or cotton bags with cedar blocks or lavender sachets. This protects your investment from moths and moisture until the first frost returns.
