Hand Wash or Machine Wash?

For delicate handmade items like this, it's best to hand wash to prevent stretching, snagging, or other damage that can occur in the washing machine. We recommend a gentle wash by hand!

Use a Gentle Detergent

When hand washing your sweater, use a gentle detergent specifically designed for delicate fabrics. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach that can damage the fibers of your handmade creation.

Avoid Aggressive Wringing

After washing, gently squeeze out excess water from your sweater. Avoid aggressive wringing or twisting, as this can misshape the garment and cause it to lose its original form.

Dry Flat

When it comes to drying your crocheted sweater, lay it flat on a clean towel to air dry. Avoid hanging the sweater, as this can cause it to stretch out of shape. Reshape the sweater as needed while it dries to maintain its original fit.

Storage Tips

When storing your handmade sweater, fold it neatly and place it in a breathable storage bag or container. Avoid hanging it in a closet for long periods, as this can cause the sweater to lose its shape over time.

Handle with Care

Lastly, always handle your crocheted sweater with care. Avoid rough handling, excessive stretching, or exposure to sharp objects that can snag the delicate yarn. By treating your handmade creation gently, you can enjoy wearing it for years to come.
