crochet care instructions 🧶

a crochet flower bouquet, or any other creation, can last for years — or even forever — with minimal care. unlike real flowers, they won’t fade, wilt or require water. here’s how to keep your crochet products looking beautiful and lasting for years:

hand wash only

  • gently hand wash your crochet item in cold water using mild detergent. avoid hot water to protect the fibers and maintain the shape. machine washing, especially on high settings, can cause stretching or damage. stick to hand washing for a longer-lasting item.

no bleach or harsh chemicals

  • keep your crochet creations free from bleach or harsh chemicals to preserve the colours and texture.

lay flat to dry

  • after washing, gently squeeze out excess water (do not wring) and lay your crochet piece flat to dry. reshape it while damp to maintain its original form.

avoid direct sunlight

  • keep your crochet item out of direct sunlight to prevent fading and keep the colours fresh.

store properly

  • when not in use, store your crochet piece in a cool, dry place. avoid hanging to prevent stretching, and use a dust bag if needed to keep it clean.

spot clean when necessary

  • for small stains or spots, use a mild soap or stain remover on a clean cloth and gently blot the area — avoid rubbing to prevent damage.

taking care of your handmade crochet pieces with these simple tips will help keep them looking as cute as the day you received them! 💖
