Thank you for supporting Simply Crocheted by Sydney! Every blanket, tote bag, and duffle bag is thoughtfully handcrafted using quality materials and designed to be enjoyed for years to come. Following these care instructions will help keep your handmade items looking beautiful.

Crochet Blanket Care

Washing

  • Machine wash on cold water using the gentle or delicate cycle.

  • Wash with similar colors.

  • Use a mild, bleach-free detergent.

  • Place your blanket inside a large mesh laundry bag when possible to help protect the stitches.

  • Do not use bleach or fabric softener.

Drying

  • Lay flat to air dry for the best results and to help maintain the blanket's shape.

  • If using a dryer, tumble dry on low heat only for a short period, then remove while slightly damp and lay flat to finish drying.

  • Avoid high heat, which can shrink or damage yarn fibers.

General Care

  • Store folded in a cool, dry place.

  • Avoid hanging blankets for long periods, as this may stretch the stitches.

  • Keep away from sharp objects and pet claws that may snag the yarn.
