How to clean a qiviut smokering?

Qiviut Garments can be dry cleaned or hand washed. if you choose to have it dry cleaned be sure to tell the cleaner that it should be cleaned using the silk setting.

To hand wash, fill sink with a small amount of warm water and delicate detergent, submerge and leave to sit in the water for 20 minutes. Next, drain water and press out the water......DO NOT WRING THE GARMENT. Refill the silk with clean water at the same temperature as the wash water (very important to prevent felting). Again, press out water and lay flat to dry...reshape garment gently as it dries.
