Select a fabric above to see care instructions
Cotton
Machine wash cold (30°C) on a gentle or delicate cycle
Wash dark or bright colours separately for the first few washes
Do not bleach
Tumble dry on low heat or hang to dry to prevent shrinking
Iron on medium heat while slightly damp for best results
Store folded or hung in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
Raw Cotton
Hand wash in cold water only — raw cotton is more fragile than processed cotton
Use a gentle, pH-neutral detergent
Do not wring or twist — press gently to remove excess water
Lay flat or hang to dry in shade — avoid direct sunlight which can yellow the fibres
Do not tumble dry
Iron on low heat only if needed
Expect some natural softening and slight shrinkage after the first wash
Hemp
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle or hand wash
Use a mild, eco-friendly detergent
Do not bleach
Hang to dry — hemp dries quickly and softens beautifully with each wash
Tumble dry on low if needed
Iron on medium heat — hemp can wrinkle easily
Hemp gets softer over time with washing — this is normal and desirable
Tapestry
Spot clean only where possible to preserve the weave and colours
If full washing is needed, hand wash in cold water with a gentle detergent
Do not machine wash — the weave structure can pull and distort
Do not wring — gently press and roll in a clean towel to absorb moisture
Lay flat to dry or hang carefully without pegging through the weave
Do not tumble dry
Iron on the reverse side on low heat only if necessary
Store flat or rolled — do not fold along the same line repeatedly
Spandex
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle or hand wash
Use a mild detergent — avoid fabric softener which can break down elastic fibres
Do not bleach
Do not tumble dry — heat destroys spandex fibres and causes permanent loss of stretch
Hang or lay flat to dry
Do not iron — heat damages spandex
Avoid leaving in direct sunlight for extended periods
Chiffon
Hand wash in cold water only — chiffon is extremely delicate
Use a small amount of gentle or silk-specific detergent
Do not rub, scrub or wring — gently swish and rinse
Roll in a clean towel to absorb moisture — do not twist
Hang to dry away from direct sunlight
Iron on the lowest heat setting on the reverse side, or use a pressing cloth
Store hung to avoid permanent creasing
Linen
Machine wash on a gentle cycle in cold or lukewarm water (30°C max)
Use a gentle detergent — avoid bleach which weakens linen fibres
Do not over-spin — linen can crease deeply in a fast spin cycle
Hang to dry while slightly damp and smooth out by hand
Tumble dry on low heat is acceptable but may cause slight shrinkage
Iron on medium-high heat while still damp for the smoothest finish
Linen softens with every wash — this is part of its natural beauty
Lycra
Machine wash cold on gentle cycle or hand wash in cool water
Use a gentle detergent — do not use fabric softener
Do not bleach
Do not tumble dry — heat permanently damages Lycra's elasticity
Lay flat or hang to dry away from direct heat and sunlight
Do not iron — the heat will melt or distort the fibres
Avoid prolonged exposure to chlorine (pools or bleach-based cleaners)
Silk
Hand wash only in cool water — silk is very sensitive to heat
Use a dedicated silk or delicate fabric wash — never regular detergent
Do not soak for more than a few minutes
Do not rub, scrub or wring — gently swish, rinse and press
Roll in a clean dry towel to remove excess moisture
Hang to dry in shade — never in direct sunlight which fades silk
Iron on the lowest silk setting on the reverse side while still slightly damp
Store in a cool, dark place away from direct light to preserve colour
Dry cleaning is always a safe option for delicate or embellished silk pieces
Polysilk
Hand wash in cool water with a gentle detergent
Machine wash on a delicate cycle in a mesh laundry bag is acceptable
Do not bleach
Do not tumble dry on high heat — lay flat or hang to dry
Iron on a low synthetic setting on the reverse side
Polysilk is more durable than pure silk but still benefits from gentle handling
Silkpoly (70% Silk / 30% Poly)
Hand wash in cool water using a gentle silk-safe detergent
The polyester content makes this more durable than pure silk but still treat it gently
Do not use hot water — the silk content will suffer
Do not wring — press gently in a towel to remove moisture
Hang to dry in shade away from direct sunlight
Iron on the silk or low setting on the reverse side
The poly content helps this fabric resist wrinkles better than pure silk
Polyester
Machine wash on a gentle or normal cycle in cool to warm water (30–40°C)
Use a standard gentle detergent
Do not bleach
Tumble dry on low heat — polyester dries quickly
Hang to dry is preferred to avoid static
Iron on a low synthetic setting only if needed — polyester can melt under high heat
Polyester holds colour well and is generally very easy to care for
Rayon
Hand wash in cool water with a gentle detergent — rayon weakens significantly when wet
Machine wash on delicate in a mesh bag in cold water if hand washing is not possible
Do not wring or scrub — support the fabric's weight as you wash it
Roll in a towel to absorb moisture and reshape while damp
Hang to dry in shade — do not tumble dry
Iron on a medium setting while slightly damp on the reverse side
Rayon wrinkles easily — store hung to minimise creasing
Dry cleaning is recommended for structured or lined rayon pieces
Viscose
Hand wash in cool water — viscose loses strength when wet and can stretch or shrink
Use a mild detergent and handle very gently
Do not machine wash unless the label specifically states it is safe
Do not wring — gently press and reshape while damp
Hang to dry in shade — avoid direct sunlight and heat
Do not tumble dry
Iron on medium heat on the reverse side while damp
Dry cleaning is a safe and recommended option
Wool
Hand wash in cool water only — wool felts and shrinks permanently in hot water
Use a dedicated wool wash or gentle detergent
Do not agitate, rub or wring — gently press and squeeze
Rinse thoroughly in water of the same temperature to avoid shocking the fibres
Roll in a clean towel to remove excess moisture
Lay flat to dry — never hang wool as it stretches under its own weight when wet
Do not tumble dry
Iron on a low wool setting with a damp pressing cloth — never iron directly
Store folded with moth deterrents in a sealed bag during warm months
Acrylic
Machine wash on a gentle cycle in cool or lukewarm water
Use a mild detergent
Do not bleach
Tumble dry on low heat or lay flat to dry — acrylic can stretch when hung wet
Iron on the lowest setting using a pressing cloth — direct heat can melt acrylic fibres
Avoid high heat in all forms — washing, drying and ironing
Store folded to maintain shape
+ Silk Embroidery
Always follow the care instructions for the base fabric first
Hand wash only — machine washing can pull, unravel or distort embroidery threads
Wash inside out to protect embroidered areas from friction
Do not scrub or rub the embroidered areas directly
Rinse gently without agitation
Press gently in a towel to dry — never wring
Lay flat or hang to dry — never tumble dry
When ironing, place a pressing cloth over the embroidery and iron around it — never directly over the threads
Store flat or carefully rolled to avoid crushing the raised embroidery
For heavily embellished pieces, dry cleaning is strongly recommended
