How to care for your Yarncraft by Susan products

Please follow these instructions when the time comes to clean your handcrafted Yarncraft by Susan products.



For items made in 100% cotton yarn:

  • Hand or machine wash separately, delicate cycle, in cold or warm water with mild detergent.
  • If hand washing, rinse under cool running water. Do not wring or twist.
  • If machine washing, secure item inside a mesh delicates bag or pillowcase before washing.
  • To machine dry, use medium heat setting.
  • To air dry, roll wet item between dry, absorbent towels and gently squeeze to remove excess water. Lay item flat to dry. Gently reshape item, if needed, before drying.
  • Cotton items may be ironed with steam on cotton setting to restore shape after drying, if needed. 

 

For items made in 100% acrylic yarn:

  • Hand or machine wash separately, delicate cycle, in cold or warm water with mild detergent.
  • If hand washing, rinse under cool running water. Do not wring or twist. 
  • If machine washing, secure item inside a mesh delicates bag or pillowcase before washing.
  • To machine dry, use medium heat setting.
  • Do not machine dry if your item has metallic filament in the yarn for sparkle. (Machine wash/air dry is OK.)
  • To air dry, roll wet item between dry, absorbent towels and gently squeeze to remove excess water. Lay item flat to dry. Gently reshape item, if needed, before drying.
  • Do not iron acrylic items. 

 

For items with trim:

  • If your item has removable trim pieces (e.g., faux fur pompoms, detachable tassels or pompoms, etc.), always remove the detachable trim items before laundering your crocheted or knitted item.
  • If your item has an ultrasuede vegan leather Chicago tag attached with a screw (example image below), you may opt to unscrew the tag before machine laundering your item if you are willing to do the work to reattach the tag yourself. (If not, please do not machine wash or dry items with screw-on tags attached. You may hand wash/air dry these items.)
  •  If your item has a sewn-on ultrasuede vegan leather Chicago tag attached, it is safe to machine wash/dry.
