Product Care
How do I care for my handcrafted knit & crochet pieces?
At Indigo Child, we take pride in creating beautifully handcrafted products using traditional crochet and knitting techniques. Each piece is carefully made with love, using premium-quality yarns to ensure softness, durability, and timeless charm.
To help you cherish your handmade items for years to come, we’ve put together a simple care guide. Because handmade treasures deserve a little extra care, follow our tips below to keep your knits and crochet pieces looking as stunning as the day you received them!
To keep your Indigo Child pieces looking their best, we recommend hand washing them for the gentlest care. If you prefer machine washing, use a delicate cycle at 30°C or below. Avoid tumble drying, as our pieces are air dry only to preserve their shape and texture. For stains, gently apply stain remover directly to the affected area and let it sit for a few hours before washing. Our furnished pieces and jewellery are spot clean only to maintain their unique finishes. To spot clean, damp a cloth with cold or warm water and pat the area. Gently squeeze the water without rubbing. Lay it on a flat surface to dry.
To keep your handcrafted knitwear and crochet pieces in their best condition, folding them neatly and storing them in a drawer or box is the safest option. This helps prevent stretching and maintains their shape. If you need to hang your piece for a short time, we recommend using padded or non-slip hangers with rounded edges to prevent slipping or snagging. Keep your pieces away from pets to prevent threads from being pulled or damaged Always store your pieces in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to preserve their colour and texture for years to come.
Pilling occurs as loose fibres form small balls due to friction, and it’s a completely natural process. Many of our handmade clothing and homeware pieces are crafted using acrylic yarn, which is durable and soft but tends to pill over time with regular use. For easy maintenance, we recommend using a lint remover or fabric comb to gently remove any pills and keep your pieces looking fresh.
We also offer homeware and accessories made from cotton yarn, which are less prone to pilling but may still develop pills occasionally. The same care techniques—using a lint remover or comb—are ideal for maintaining their appearance and texture.
