HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR CROCHET ITEMS

By following these care guidelines for your headwear/accessories you can ensure they last you a very long time:

• Hand wash your crocheted item by soaking it in cold water with a mild detergent. Leave to soak for a few minutes.

• Rinse out the detergent and gently squeeze out the excess water. Do not wring.

• Lay your headpiece/accessory on a clean towel, roll the towel up and squeeze out any excess moisture.

• Lay the headpiece/accessory down flat to dry on a towel.

• Reshape the item as it is drying.

Please make sure you don’t stretch your crochet headwear/accessories while they are wet as this can misshape them. You can avoid this by not wringing the item when washing and instead gently squeezing the water out. Laying your item down flat to dry as opposed to hanging it when air drying also prevents it from stretching out.

100% Wool and 100% Mohair items do not need to be washed as frequently. This is because natural fibres are self cleaning and odour resistant.

To fluff up your mohair hat again after washing, use a brush with small bristles to gently brush out the mohair. You can use a clothes brush, pet hair brush or a mohair brush to do this.

Avoid extreme heat as this can damage/shrink your crocheted headwear, that is why tumble drying is not recommended.

For Kazm creatures made using the series 01 crochet kit, you may machine wash on a delicate cycle.

Bag charms are recommended to be handwashed or spot cleaned. Do not machine wash.
