Washing Crochet Toys
The best thing to do is hand-wash your crochet toys!
Soak the toy in cool, mild bubbly water, submerging it enough to gently saturate it
Do not scrub or twist the item, but gently knead the toy with the soapy water
Rinse out with cool water
Drain the excess water and gently squeeze the toy with a towel and allow it to air dry.
Do not hang your toy to dry - the weight may cause the material to stretch.
If you MUST machine wash the toy:
Use a Delicates Washing Bag to secure your toy and wash on the delicate cycle with cold water.
