Care & keeping
- Pre-wash (20–40°C) before cutting to minimise shrinkage
- Wash inside-out with similar colours; line dry or low tumble - I tend to do both. I start the prewashed fabric in the tumble dryer for 10-20 minutes then finish on the washing line
- Light steam on reverse to lift the brushed pile after laundering
- Do not Dry Clean
