Care instructions
-
Hand Wash: Crocheted and knitted clothing items are often delicate, so it's best to hand wash them in cool to lukewarm water using a gentle detergent. Avoid hot water as it can cause the yarn to stretch or lose its shape. It is best to wash your items as rarely as possible :)
-
Use a Mild Detergent: Choose a mild, pH-neutral detergent designed for delicate fabrics. Avoid harsh detergents or bleach, which can damage the yarn or colors.
-
Gently Agitate: Gently agitate the item in the soapy water, but avoid excessive wringing or twisting, as this can stretch or distort the crochet stitches.
-
Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse the clothing item with cool water until all the detergent is completely washed out.
-
Pat Dry: After rinsing, gently press the water out by patting the item with a clean, dry towel. Avoid wringing it out, as this can damage the fibers.
-
Shape and Lay Flat to Dry: Reshape the crocheted clothing item to its original form and lay it flat on a clean, dry towel or on a drying rack. Ensure it is in the correct shape and dimensions before leaving it to dry.
-
Store Carefully: When storing your crocheted and knitted clothing items, fold them neatly and store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. To prevent stretching, you can use padded hangers for heavier items.
-
Mend Any Damage: If you notice any loose threads or snags in your crocheted clothing, mend them promptly to prevent further damage.
