Remove loose dust
Lift loose debris gently without dragging across the loop tops. Support the backing when handling a large piece. Avoid a rotating brush that can catch a loop.
Store wall art flat or upright without compressing the pile. Keep hanging cords and hardware away from the surface.
Before wet cleaning
- Check the yarn label, cloth label and any adhesive instructions.
- Try the cleaning method on a spare finished swatch, including its backing.
- Blot a small spill instead of rubbing it through the pile. Dry the object in its intended shape.
- Remove a pillow insert before cleaning a removable cover. Do not soak a glued object unless the adhesive supports that use.
Repair a pulled loop
Ease an enlarged loop back by redistributing yarn to its neighbouring loops from the work side. If the yarn is broken, repunch the missing section using the original setup, then restore the finish. Keep leftover yarn with the pattern's colour key for repairs.
