Care and maintenance guide

Handcrafted textiles and seasonal florals deserve thoughtful handling. Here are the top questions answered to help you preserve the texture, color, and structure of your favorite handmade items.

How do I wash my chunky blanket?
Wash your chunky blanket on a gentle cycle using cold water. This helps maintain the fibers and protects the delicate weave from pulling or stretching.

How should I dry my chunky blanket?
Never dry your blanket on high heat. We recommend laying it flat to dry naturally, or you can tumble dry on a low heat setting to preserve its ultra-soft texture.

What is the best way to store seasonal wreaths?
When not displayed, store your decorative wreaths in sturdy storage containers to keep dust away and protect delicate ribbons, foliage, and structural accents.

Can chunky blankets be stored or displayed when not in use?
Yes, our chunky blankets make wonderful decorative pieces year-round. Drape them over a cozy chair or fold them neatly into a storage bag to keep them clean and neat.

Where should I hang my handmade wreath?
To extend the life of your wreath, display it in a sheltered area protected from harsh weather, rain, and intense direct sunlight, which can cause fading or wear.

What common mistakes should I avoid with blankets?
The biggest risk to chunky knit yarn is extreme heat. Avoid hot water, high-heat dryer cycles, or harsh bleach, as these can shrink fibers or cause the yarn to lose its plush softness.

How can I freshen up my wreath between seasons?
Lightly dust your wreath with a soft microfiber cloth or use a gentle burst of cool air to remove surface dust before putting it back on display.
