Washing
Hand wash gently in cool water with a mild detergent. Avoid soaking for long periods, harsh chemicals, bleach, or fabric softeners that may affect the fibres.
Care guidance
Looking after handmade crochet items
Gentle care helps your crochet keepsake stay soft, shaped, and ready for everyday cuddles.
Drying
Press out excess water with a clean towel. Reshape while damp and dry flat away from direct heat or strong sunlight. Do not tumble dry unless your item label says it is suitable.
Storage
Store in a clean, dry place. Keep away from damp areas, strong scents, and anything that may catch on the stitches.
Everyday cuddles
Check handmade items regularly for loose threads, stretched stitches, buttons, ribbons, or added details. Repair or remove from use if anything becomes loose.
Safety notes
Handmade crochet items are keepsakes and comfort gifts. Always supervise babies and young children with handmade items, and keep blankets, toys, and accessories out of sleep spaces where safety guidance recommends doing so.
