Yarn Care Guide

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
