Yarn Care Guide

Your handmade Mojioo pieces deserve the best care. Follow these simple guidelines to keep your crochet projects — from pet outfits to matching sets — looking beautiful wash after wash.

🧶 Reading Yarn Labels

Always check the yarn label before washing. Look for the fiber content and care symbols. When in doubt, hand wash in cold water.

🫧 Washing Instructions

Hand Wash (Recommended)

• Use cool or lukewarm water (max 30°C / 86°F)
• Add a small amount of gentle wool or delicate detergent
• Gently squeeze — never wring or twist
• Rinse thoroughly until water runs clear

Machine Wash

• Only if the yarn label specifically allows it
• Use a mesh laundry bag to protect your piece
• Select the delicate or wool cycle with cold water
• Use a gentle, wool-safe detergent

🌬️ Drying Tips

• Gently press out excess water with a clean towel — do not wring
• Lay flat to dry on a clean, dry towel away from direct sunlight
• Reshape while damp to maintain the original form
• Never tumble dry unless the label says it's safe
• Avoid hanging wet crochet pieces — they can stretch out of shape

🗂️ Storage Tips

• Store finished pieces folded flat in a cool, dry place
• Use breathable cotton bags or pillowcases — avoid plastic bags
• Add cedar balls or lavender sachets to deter moths naturally
• Keep unused yarn in a sealed bag away from dust and moisture

🐾 Caring for Pet Outfits

• Spot clean minor dirt with a damp cloth between washes
• Wash after every 3–5 wears, or sooner if soiled
• Check for loose ends or stretched stitches after each wash and repair promptly

💡 Pro Tips

• Pilling: Use a fabric shaver to gently remove pills from wool or acrylic blends
• Blocking: After washing, pin your piece to shape on a foam mat and let it dry for a perfect finish
• Color care: Wash dark colors separately for the first few washes to prevent color transfer
