Washing Instructions:
Hand Wash: Gently hand wash your fabric in cold water using a mild, eco-friendly detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach as they can damage the delicate fibers.
Soak with Care: If you encounter stubborn stains, soak the fabric in cold water with a small amount of mild detergent for 15-20 minutes before gently hand washing.
Avoid Agitation: Refrain from excessive rubbing or wringing out the fabric, as this can weaken the fibers and affect its longevity.
Cold Water Rinse: After washing, rinse the fabric thoroughly in cold water to remove any remaining detergent.
Drying Instructions:
Lay Flat to Dry: Lay your fabric flat on a clean, dry towel to air dry. Avoid hanging it, as the weight of the wet fabric can cause stretching.
Shape Carefully: If you are crafting garments, reshape them while drying to maintain their intended silhouette.
Indirect Sunlight: Dry your fabric in the shade or indirect sunlight to preserve the indigo dye and prevent fading.
Protect from Light: Store your fabric in a cool, dark place to protect it from excessive exposure to light, which can fade the indigo dye over time.
