First off, thank you so much for supporting a small artist like me and buying my crochet product!To elongate the life of your new crochet product, here’s the best way to take care of it:-hand wash with cold water only, use a mild detergent-gently squeeze out as much water as you can DO NOT WRING IT OUT THIS CAN STRETCH OUT THE YARN-place your hat/product flat on a towel, press out as much water as you can before laying it out flat to dry-if yarn ends come out, you can gently weave them back in or feel free to message me or bring the product to me and i can quickly weave it in for you!Acrylic yarn will stretch out overtime to fit your head so don’t be alarmed if it doesn’t feel as “tight” as it did initially.Feel free to message me on instagram or facebook if you have any questions <3 thank you so much for your support! i appreciate it endlessly@josieinks
