Caring For Your Fabric

Caring For Your Fabric

Fabric is precious. We've compiled a few guidelines to help you care for your new purchase. It's a good idea to pre-wash any washable natural fibers you will be garment-washing in the future, as some shrinkage may occur.

We recommend pre-washing in the same way you intend to wash your future fabric, including drying.

Wash light and bright colors separately, as some colors may run in their first few washes. Please note, these care tips are guidelines only and variations will apply to some fabrics. Extra care should be taken when washing high-contrast prints with highly saturated pigments like red, black, and navy on light-colored base cloths. These prints can be prone to color bleed and should be cold machine washed, and dried without delay.

Special washing instructions will apply to some fabrics such as satins, sequinned, beaded, coated or foiled fabrics as well as specialty weights/styles and delicate items. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
