Cotton Crochet Care

Caring for Crocheted Cotton

General Care

Gentle Handling: Handle your crocheted item with care to avoid stretching or distorting the stitches.

Storage: Store your item in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and deterioration. Avoid hanging items with leather loops to prevent stretching.


Cleaning

Hand Wash: For best results, hand wash your crocheted cotton item in cold water with a mild detergent.

Spot Clean Leather: Avoid soaking any leather parts. Spot clean it with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary, then wipe dry.

Rinse: Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residue from the cotton.

Air Dry: Lay your crocheted item flat on a clean, dry towel and reshape it while damp. Avoid wringing or twisting.


Maintenance

Metal Rivet Care: If the metal rivet shows signs of tarnish, gently clean it with a soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals.

Leather Conditioning: Occasionally condition the leather loop with a leather conditioner to keep it supple and prevent cracking.


Usage Tips

Avoid Overloading: If your item is used for carrying or holding objects, avoid overloading it to maintain its shape and integrity.

Mindful Usage: Use your crocheted item for its intended purpose to ensure its longevity.
