Care: Handwash using a gentle wool shampoo recommended for best results. To machine wash, choose a cold wool cycle, skipping the spin cycle. Dry flat on a towel, gently reshaping while wet. Do not tumble dry. Wool feels comfortable and dry, even when you sweat. It can absorb a lot of moisture (up to 33% of its dry weight). Air between uses, wash only when required. 

The story of the Fager pattern: This design is a tribute to the graceful plant family Liliaceae. Designer Åse Öjbro, founder of Öjbro Vantfabrik, has created a beautiful stylised floral pattern, where the lily and its leaves are framed by a geometric pattern reminiscent of a garden fence.

Carl von Linné, botanist, physician, and zoologist, created the modern system for naming and categorizing plants. He is known as the "father of modern taxonomy". Carl von Linné was born in 1707 in rural Småland and educated at Uppsala University, where he became professor of medicine and botany in 1740. He traveled throughout Europe to classify plants and animals, continuing his work of collecting, studying, and classifying plants, animals, and minerals until his death in 1778. 

In Åse Öjbro's words, “I wanted to honour the tremendous work Carl von Linné has done for all of us, while continuing the tradition of creating beautiful floral designs - something women have done throughout history to adorn their everyday surroundings and pass on their traditions to future generations... I hope to capture the love of our astonishing nature and all the beautiful flowers with this pattern."
