Tender Loving Care

Regular gentle cleaning helps hand-crafted items last as long as possible! Dirt build-up attracts pests and can degrade fibers, and harsh cleaning can fade and wear out a garment prematurely. Plus, delicate washes like Eucalan and Soak avoid many of the chemicals used in regular detergents. Keeping garments and yarn stored in sealed containers along with natural repellants like cedar can also offer a little extra boost of protection from many-legged foes.

Mending

No matter how well you treat handmade items, regular wear and tear means you'll still need to mend them from time to time to extend their life. From a snagged sweater cuff to a hole worn into the sole of your favorite sock, don't throw it out! You can fix it and give it a whole new life.

This clever kit from Katrinkles will have you patching holes in no time. It creates a tiny loom, anchoring one end to the comb and the other to secured live stitches. From there, you can weave a small patch directly onto your piece!
