How to Care for Your Crochet Creations (and Make Them Last Longer)

When you pour your time, creativity, and love into crochet, your creations become more than just items—they’re treasures.

Your crochet projects are more than just items—they’re works of art! With a little extra care, you can keep them looking amazing for years. Here’s how:

1. Wash Gently

  • Handwash in cold water using a mild detergent.
  • Soak instead of scrubbing to protect the stitches.
  • Rinse carefully and avoid wringing out.

2. Dry Flat

  • Lay your crochet piece on a clean towel to dry.
  • Gently reshape it and let it air dry—don’t hang it up to avoid stretching.

3. Store Smartly

  • Fold your crochet items instead of hanging them.
  • Use breathable fabric bags or bins to store them.
  • Add lavender or cedar to keep pests away

4. Handle with Care

  • Avoid rough surfaces that can snag or wear the yarn.
  • Spot clean stains right away to keep your pieces looking fresh.
