Washing Instructions for Tencel Scarves & Shawls
The tencel scarves and shawls can be easily washed in the washing machine. I would chose a short wash at 30 or 40 degrees. I use ordinary fabric detergent, and fabric conditioner.
​
Let the item dry naturally, and then iron with a hot iron and steam while it is still damp. This will make the item all shiny again.
Don't be worried that when it is very wet it feels a but stiff - this is usual!
​
You shouldn't need to wash your item very often, and doing so may make the colours less bright over time.
Washing instructions for Other Scarves & Shawls
As a rule, I would hand wash other scarves and shawls with warm water and a suitable hand/delicate detergent. This should prevent the item from felting if it is wool.
I do use fabric softener for all my items, prior to spinning.
​
DO NOT WRING as this could cause the structure of the item to deform! Just squeeze the water out by hand, and then you can use the spin cycle in a washing machine for all but the most delicate items.
