We want your crochet pieces to look fab and last a long time, so here are some easy steps to keep them in tip-top shape. Show them a little love, and they’ll keep you looking amazing for years!

Machine Washing Your Crochet Item

1. Load Up the Washer

• You can wash your crochet piece with other items of similar colors or on its own if you’d like. Acrylic yarn won’t bleed, but it’s always a good idea to keep colors together.

2. Use the TJC Mesh Laundry Bag

• Pop your item into the mesh bag we gave you and zip it up. This helps avoid snags and keeps it safe during the wash.

3. Choose Your Wash Settings

• Cold water is your friend here! While the delicate cycle is ideal, your crochet won’t get damaged on other settings either—so no worries!

4. After Washing

• When the wash is done, take your crochet piece out of the mesh bag if you are choosing to let it air dry flat or while still in the laundry bag throw it in the dryer for the next step.

Machine Drying Your Crochet Item

1. Set the Dryer

• Go for low heat when using the dryer (the laundry bag is recommend but not required). Acrylic yarn holds up well in the dryer but can warp if the heat is too high, so low to medium heat is perfect.

2. Fuzzies? No Problem!

• If your crochet piece gets some fuzzies after drying, don’t panic! They happen naturally. Just grab some scissors or a lint shaver. If you have any problem please reach out to us, we're here to help.

Air Drying: Not in a rush? Laying your crochet item flat or to hang to air dry in a well ventilated area works just as well!

Hand Washing Your Crochet Item

1. Cool Water, Please!

• Fill up a sink, basin, or tub with cool water and add a little mild detergent. Avoid hot water or strong chemicals like bleach—your crochet doesn’t need that drama.

2. Gently Clean

• Soak your crochet piece for about 15–30 minutes. Gently rub the soapy water into the yarn with your fingers, paying attention to any spots that need extra care.

3. Rinse & Repeat

• Rinse under cool water until the soap is gone and the water runs clear. Don’t twist or wring it out—just gently press out the extra water.

4. Dry It Right

• Lay your crochet flat on a towel and roll it up to absorb moisture. Then, lay it flat somewhere to air dry. You can even hang it if you want—it’ll be just fine!

Storing Your Crochet Item

1. Use Your TJC Zipper Bag

• Once your crochet piece is dry, store it in the frosted zipper bag we gave you. This keeps it dust-free and ready for its next wear.

2. Keep It Dry

• Always make sure your crochet is completely dry before storing it. And try not to leave it in dark, damp places for long periods—no one wants musty crochet!
