PRODUCT CARE

All our products are of the finest quality and have been manufactured and designed to give long lasting satisfaction. 
All of our bedding has been carefully hand-crafted using traditional methods and therefore require special attention to ensure their qualities give long lasting satisfaction.
 
QUILTED BEDSPREADS, COVERLETS & DUVET COVERS

SHEETS 
WASHING
  • Wash sheets weekly to help prevent discolouration.
  • Wash whites and darks separately at 40°C.
  • Avoid boiling, bleach and enzyme-based detergents, which can damage natural fibres.
  • Dissolve detergent completely before adding sheets.
DRYING
  • For best results, air dry sheets outdoors.
  • Avoid tumble drying where possible.
  • Fold sheets as soon as they come off the line to minimise creasing.
IRONING
  • Iron sheets while slightly damp for the best results.
  • Use a steam iron and lightly mist with water if they become too dry.
  • Fold sheets lengthways when ironing for easier handling.
  • For embroidered or embellished sheets, iron on the reverse side to protect the detailing.
  • Natural fibres soften over time, making creasing less noticeable.
SILK FILLED PRODUCTS
 Your silk product will last a long time if proper care is taken.
Always use a removable cover to protect the silk product from dirt and stains. 

Air outdoors every 3 months for 2 hours and up to a maximum of 3 hours. 
This should be all that is needed to keep your silk product fresh and clean. Silk fibres do not absorb moisture or odours, avoiding the necessity to wash your inner to freshen it up.
Silk products are not intended for use in circumstances where frequent complete cleaning is necessary. Only use professional dry cleaning when absolutely essential but not too often. 

Should your silk product require deeper cleaning, please follow these steps:
  • Isolate the soiled area only and hand wash with cold water and a very gently washing agent. (A special silk washing agent is perfect.)
  • Do not use bleach or strong detergents.
  • Rinse thoroughly and squeeze excess water by pressing the two sides of the silk product together.
  • Do not wring.
  • Dry flat.
  • Dry cleaning uses chemicals which may damage the silk fibres and it is not recommended.
  • Do not tumble dry or iron.
  • Do not shake silk product strongly as this may displace the hand layered silk floss.
Damage to your silk product caused by incorrect care will void your warranty.

SILK PILLOWCASES:
  • Hand-wash in cold water and use a small amount of gentle detergent.
  • Do not wring or squeeze water out, instead lay your pillowcase on a clean, dry towel and gently roll it up to remove the excess moisture.
  • Dry flat in a shady spot out of direct sunlight.
  • Do not tumble dry as this can shrink or damage the fabric.

KITCHEN LINEN
  • Pre-soaking before first use in cold water for 24 hours prior to washing will open up the fibres, optimising absorbency from the get-go.
  • Wash on a warm machine cycle (30-40 degrees) with a small amount of detergent. Wash separately from items with zips or clasps that can catch.
  • Avoid using fabric softeners or harsh cleaning agents.
  • Run through the tumble dryer to maintain shape and create a softer feel than line drying.

GATHER TABLEWARE
  • Microwave and dishwasher safe, treat with care. Handwashing recommended.
  • Avoid sudden temperature changes (e.g. freezer to oven) to prevent thermal shock.
  • Place hot items onto wood or cloth, not cold surfaces.
  • Dark liquids or foods and cooking oil or fats may stain the unglazed outer portion if left for any period of time. We recommend washing with soap and a soft cloth.
  • If the stain remains, we recommend making a paste of bicarbonate of soda and water and giving a gentle scrub with a sponge or a toothbrush. A paste of dish soap and bicarbonate of soda also works well. 
CARING FOR YOUR YARN 

Knowing the correct care process is essential for fibre preservation and keeping it clean. We recommend referring to the original yarn label for fibre content and care symbols.

Wool and cashmere garments do not need washing very often. Simply airing them out in humid outdoor conditions can refresh them effectively. If you do need to wash a garment, follow the instructions below.

Hand wash your garments in cool or lukewarm water using a mild detergent approved for wool care, such as Soak Wash. Do not agitate, scrub or twist, simply soak for 15-20 minutes.

If required, rinse gently in clean, cool water.

Without wringing or twisting, lay the garment flat on a dry bath towel, roll the towel up with the item inside and press firmly.

Transfer your garment to another dry towel and lay flat, away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Flip the garment after 12 hours for the other side to dry completely.

When storing, fold, rather than hang. This will help retain its shape.
