1. Washing Guidelines

• Hand Wash Preference: Always hand wash the beanie in cold or lukewarm water. Use a mild, gentle detergent specifically designed for delicate fabrics. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach, as they can damage the yarn and embroidery threads.
• Machine Wash Caution: If you must machine wash, place the beanie in a mesh laundry bag to protect the embroidery. Use the delicate cycle with cold water and a mild detergent.
• Avoid Soaking: Do not soak the beanie for an extended period, as this can cause the yarn to stretch and the embroidery to lose its shape.

2. Drying Methods

• Air Dry Only: Never use a tumble dryer. Gently squeeze out excess water (do not wring or twist, as this can distort the shape and damage the embroidery). Lay the beanie flat on a clean, dry towel and reshape it to its original form. Let it air dry completely away from direct sunlight and heat sources, which can fade the colors and weaken the fibers.

3. Storage Tips

• Shape Retention: When not in use, store the beanie in a way that maintains its shape. You can place it on a small hat form or stuff it lightly with tissue paper.
• Avoid Compression: Do not crumple or compress the beanie in a drawer or bag for long periods, as this can cause permanent creases or misshaping, especially around the embroidered area.

4. General Care

• Spot Cleaning: For minor stains, spot clean immediately with a small amount of mild detergent and a soft cloth. Blot the stain gently; do not rub, as rubbing can damage the embroidery and spread the stain.
• Avoid Rough Surfaces: Be careful when wearing the beanie around rough materials or surfaces that could snag the yarn or embroidery threads.
• Pilling Prevention: To minimize pilling (tiny fiber balls), avoid excessive friction. If pilling occurs, use a fabric shaver or a gentle lint remover designed for knits, being careful around the embroidered areas.
