Our Top Care Tips
Delicate Washing
Preserve the quality of your handwoven textiles by hand washing them in cold water with mild detergent. Avoid bleach or harsh chemicals that can fade colors and weaken fibers.
Air Dry Naturally
After washing, lay your textile flat or hang it in a shaded area to air dry. Avoid direct sunlight and tumble drying, as these can cause shrinkage or fading.
Gentle Ironing
If ironing is necessary, use a low setting while the textile is slightly damp. A pressing cloth can protect delicate fibers from direct heat and prevent scorching.
Thoughtful Storage
Fold your textiles neatly and store them in a cool, dry place away from sunlight to prevent fading. To deter moths, place cedar blocks or lavender sachets with your stored textiles.
Professional Care for Stubborn Stains
For persistent stains or particularly delicate pieces, consider professional dry cleaning to ensure your textile receives expert care without damage.
