You’ve spent time, heart, and imagination bringing your DIY kit to life, now it’s time to make sure your creation stays just as lovely as the day you finished it. A little care will go a long way in keeping your handmade piece fresh, soft, and happy.
-
🧺 Skip the machine wash and tumble dry. Your piece prefers a gentle touch.
-
💧 Use a soft cloth or sponge dampened with cold to lightly dab the surface.
-
🫧 If needed, add a few drops of mild detergent, baby shampoo or a gentle wash works perfectly.
-
🌿 Spot clean only. Try to keep it in low-traffic or dry areas for the longest life.
-
☕ For spills or stains, blot (don’t rub!) using a clean, dry cloth to lift away moisture.
-
🍋 A touch of diluted soap or white vinegar can help with stubborn spots, use sparingly.
-
🌤 Lay flat to dry in a shaded, well-ventilated space.
-
☀️ Avoid direct sunlight to prevent fading or colour bleeding.
-
🌬 Give it a gentle shake every few weeks to remove dust and lint.
-
🔥 Keep away from heat sources or damp corners, your handmade art likes cozy, balanced environments.

🎨 Note: Some yarns, especially hand-dyed or darker shades, may release a bit of colour when cleaned, totally normal!
