Polyester

Hand or Machine Wash?

You can machine wash polyester using a gentle cycle. 

Use Mild Detergent

When hand or machine washing your sweater, be sure to use a mild detergent that is gentle on the fibers. Harsh chemicals can cause the colors to fade and the fabric to weaken over time. Opt for a gentle detergent specifically designed for washing delicate items.

Avoid Direct Sunlight

After washing your sweater, avoid hanging it out in direct sunlight to dry. The UV rays can fade the colors and weaken the fibers. Instead, lay it flat on a towel to air dry in a shaded area.

Store Properly

When not wearing your handmade crocheted polyester sweater, be sure to store it properly to prevent any damage. Fold it neatly and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. You can also place it in a breathable garment bag for added protection.

Handle with Care

Lastly, always handle your sweater with care. Avoid snagging it on jewelry or sharp objects, and be mindful of any rough surfaces that could cause pilling. By treating your handmade crocheted polyester sweater with care, you can enjoy it for years to come.
