Note: Please use caution when washing and drying yarn, as high heat, softener, or bleach additives can damage the fibers.

For yarns made of 100% Acrylic (and some mixture of cotton/acrylic blends):

1. Wash on a cold and delicate cycle.

2. Use your preferred baby detergent (NO bleach or softener).

3. Dry on low heat and delicate tumble.

For yarns made of 100% Wool (including Merino), Alpaca, Cotton, Bamboo:

1. Fill a basin, tub, or empty and clean kitchen sink with cool water.

2. Add half a cap of your preferred baby detergent to the water (do NOT add softener or bleach).

3. Soak the material for 10-15 minutes (don't worry if you forget about it, cool water won't harm the fibers).

4. Carefully pull the material out of its bath and gently squeeze excess water from the fibers (do NOT wring it out, as that will irritate the fibers and possibly damage the stitching).

5. Lay the material down between a towel, then gently press or massage any excess water from the fibers.

6. Once done, allow to air dry until you get your desired shape or dryness (you can use hangers, boards, etc. to help shape the yarn as it dries).
