Wash gently
Hand wash your crochet piece in cool or lukewarm water with a small amount of mild detergent. Avoid bleach, fabric softener, and vigorous scrubbing.
MADE TO LAST
Care for your crochet,
keep the story going.
Every piece from THE YARN SIDE is made slowly and thoughtfully. A little gentle care helps your favourite stitches stay soft, beautiful, and ready for everyday adventures.
THE EVERYDAY ROUTINE
Simple care, happy stitches.
Most handmade crochet pieces only need a light touch and a little patience.
Dry flat
Never wring or twist handmade crochet. Press out excess water with a clean towel, then reshape the piece and leave it flat to air-dry away from direct sunlight.
Keep its shape
While damp, gently smooth the edges and adjust the shape by hand. Bags should be dried upright or stuffed lightly with a clean towel to support their form.
Store with care
Fold items loosely and store them in a cool, dry place. Keep them away from moisture, rough surfaces, and anything that could catch the yarn.
QUICK REMINDERS
What to avoid
No machine washing: Heat and agitation can stretch or felt the fibres.
No tumble drying: Air-drying protects the shape and texture.
No hanging heavy bags: Store them supported so the handles do not stretch.
Small pulls happen: Tuck a loose end back through the stitches; do not cut it.
