CARING FOR YOUR HANDMADE KNITTED TREASURE

• HOW TO CARE FOR MY KNITTED FAVES

  Great question! Each beanie is made with special materials, and the care depends on what it’s made of:

  • 100% Merino Wool: Hand wash gently in cold water with a wool-friendly detergent. Then lay it flat on a towel to dry—no hanging, as it could stretch!
  • Merino Wool Blends: These can sometimes handle a gentle, cold machine wash, but hand washing is always better. Lay flat to dry to keep it in perfect shape.
  • 100% Acrylic: Super low-maintenance! Toss it in the washing machine on a gentle, cold cycle. You can even tumble dry it on low, but laying it flat to dry will help it last longer.
• WHAT SHOULD I AVOID WHEN WASHING MY KNITTED ITEMS?

  Oh, I’m so glad you asked! To keep your beanie cozy and beautiful:

  • Avoid hot water—it can shrink or damage wool.
  • Don’t wring or twist your beanie to dry it. Gently press out the water instead.
  • Skip the bleach and fabric softeners. They’re too harsh for these handmade goodies.
• CAN I STRETCH OR RESIZE MY BEANIES?

  If your beanie feels a little snug, don’t worry! Wool beanies can be gently stretched while damp. Just pull it a bit where needed and let it dry in that shape. Acrylic beanies are less stretchy, so their size is more fixed—but they’re usually super comfy right out of the gate!

• ARE YOUR BEANIES/SCARF HYPOALLERGENIC?

  Here’s the scoop:

  • 100% Merino Wool: It’s naturally soft and hypoallergenic, so even sensitive skin tends to love it.
  • Merino Wool Blends: These are usually gentle too, but if you’re sensitive, it’s good to test first .
  • 100% Acrylic: Totally synthetic, so it’s a safe bet for anyone with wool allergies!
• WHAT DO I DO IF MY BEANIE / SCARF STARTS TO PILL?

  Pilling happens—it’s just the little fibers getting cozy together! You can easily fix it by using a fabric shaver or gently picking the pills off by hand. To minimize pilling, try to avoid too much friction (like rubbing against a backpack strap).

• CAN I WEAR MY BEANIE IN THE RAIN OR SNOW?

  Of course! Here’s what to keep in mind:

  • Wool and Wool Blends: Wool naturally repels water, so it’s great for light rain or snow. Just let it dry fully afterward.
  • Acrylic: Acrylic is a champ in wet weather! It keeps its shape and dries quickly, making it perfect for all your outdoor adventures.
