How do I care for this yarn?

yarn washing symbols for Flora

Hand Wash, max 30°C / Dry Flat

First of all, consider just airing the garment, instead of washing it. If you still desire to wash it, here are some guidelines:

  • Hand wash at 30ºC – separately – with wool detergent without enzymes or optical brighteners.
  • Don’t let the garment soak. Move the garment gently back and forth, do not rub or squeeze it.
  • Rinse the garment until the rinse water is completely clear, making sure the water temperature stays uniform.
  • Do a light centrifugation of the garment (about 800rpm), choosing a program that DOES NOT take in water at the start. Or press carefully the water out of the garment with a dry towel. The garment shouldn’t be twisted or rolled.
  • To dry the garment, shape it and lay it flat – do not hang – ideally on a warm bathroom floor or on top of a drying rack in a room with good air circulation. Never dry the garment in direct sunlight.
  • Don’t tumble dry.
  • Never iron the garment directly. Use always a damp cloth between your steaming iron or regular iron and the garment.

Note: If you are washing a project made with this yarn combined with another, the general guideline is to follow the washing instructions for the most delicate of the yarns you are working with.

Note: Please be aware that the colors shown may vary from screen to screen in the same way that shades may vary slightly from dye lot to dye lot. [Images and product artwork © DROPS Design. Used by permission.]
