Caring for your fabric

Fabric is precious. We've put together a few guidelines to help you care for your new purchase. It's a good idea to pre-wash any washable natural fibers that you will be washing in the future, as some shrinkage may occur. We recommend pre-washing in the same way you intend to wash your future fabric creation including drying. Wash light and bright colors separately, as some colors may run in their first few washes. Please note, these care tips are guidelines only and variations will apply to some fabrics. Special washing instructions will apply to some fabrics such as sequinned, beaded, coated or foiled fabrics as well as specialty weights/styles and delicate items. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Please follow the care & prewash guidelines as outlined below as we are unable to accept claims on fabrics that have been laundered incorrectly.

Silk

Dry clean only or handwash at your own risk using a silk friendly detergent. Do not bleach or tumble dry. If hand washing, dry in shade. Use warm iron. Please remember to check each product detail, instructions may vary. 

Cotton

Drycleanable, machine washable, bleachable if white. Line or tumble dry. Use a warm/hot iron. Please remember to check each product detail, instructions may vary. 

Linen/Lawn

Cool handwash or gentle machine wash, wash colors separately, do not wring. Tumble dry on a cool setting or dry in shade. Use a warm/hot iron. Please remember to check each product detail, instructions may vary. 

Wool

Dryclean only, use cool/warm iron, steam when pressing, brush wool to remove surface soil. Please remember to check each product detail, instructions may vary. 

Velvet

Dry clean only. Do not spot clean. Never iron as ironing is likely to crush or flatten the natural pile. A hand held steamer can be used to remove creasing. Alternatively, hand your fabric or garment in a steamy bathroom as the steam may help relax any creasing. We would recommend that you unpack your fabric upon arrival and store it rolled, rather than folded. Velvet garments are best kept handing. Avoid using clip hangers as these can bruise or mark the fabric. Please remember to check each product detail, instructions may vary.
