Keep your creations beautiful

Extend the life of your handcrafted items with our simple care guide. Learn how to wash, dry, and store your crocheted hats, bags, and more to keep them looking fresh and new for years to come.

Care for acrylic and cotton creations

Acrylic yarns: These resilient items are machine washable and dryable. For best results, place your item in a mesh laundry bag or pillowcase and use a gentle cycle with cold or lukewarm water and a mild detergent.

Cotton crochet items: Wash cotton items in cold or lukewarm water with a mild detergent. Hand washing is preferred, but machine washing is possible using a mesh bag. Air drying is recommended to prevent shrinkage that can occur with dryer use.

Essential care notes for all items

Remember these three important notes for all crocheted items to ensure their longevity and beauty:

  1. Cool water: Always use cool water, especially for wool and items made from unknown yarn types, to prevent damage.
  2. Mild soap: Use mild soap sparingly and rinse thoroughly to avoid residue build-up.
  3. Gentle handling: Handle your items gently and always dry them flat to maintain their shape.

Spot cleaning and storage tips

Spot cleaning: If you're dealing with a lightly soiled small area, spot clean it. Gently dab or rub a mild detergent or stain remover into the fabric with your fingers or a soft cloth, then rinse the area.

Storage: To keep your items in perfect condition when not in use, clean them before storing. Store them in a breathable space away from direct sunlight. Lay them flat or stand them up to prevent stretching out of shape, and avoid strong scents or chemicals that could damage the fibers.
