🧺 Care Instructions & Notes
To ensure the longevity and quality of your handmade items:
• Washing: We advise hand washing in cool or lukewarm water, or using a gentle machine washable cycle.
• Drying: Air dry only by laying the item flat to maintain shape; do not tumble dry.
• Prohibited: Do not use bleach and avoid high-temperature ironing.
• Important: Due to variations in manufacturing, please purchase enough yarn for your entire project at once, as dye lots may vary slightly between batches.
