Care Instructions

Hand wash in cool to warm water

Use mild detergent suitable for cotton

Lay flat to dry on a horizontal surface

Cotton can be ironed at medium-high temperature

May shrink slightly on first wash

Steam at medium temperature if needed

Swatching Required

A washed and thoroughly dried swatch is essential. Cotton has minimal elasticity and may relax slightly after washing. The yarn's structure and strand count significantly affect drape and gauge, so accurate swatching ensures proper fit and yardage estimates.
