Crewel embroidery is a detailed handcraft. The embroidered surface should be treated gently to preserve the stitching and texture.

• Keep embroidered fabrics away from excessive friction.
• Avoid pulling or catching loose threads.
• Do not scrub the embroidered surface.
• Avoid soaking unless specifically recommended for your particular textile.
• Keep away from prolonged direct sunlight to help preserve the colours.

Curtains and drapery should be handled gently during installation, adjustment, and cleaning.

• Dust regularly using a soft brush or low-suction upholstery attachment.
• Avoid placing furniture directly against embroidered areas.
• Keep curtains away from prolonged moisture.
• Avoid strong household cleaning products.
• For significant cleaning, consult a professional textile cleaner.

Crewel pillows and cushions are decorative textiles and benefit from gentle everyday use.

• Fluff gently rather than pulling on the embroidered surface.
• Avoid sitting directly on heavily embroidered cushions.
• Keep away from sharp objects and rough surfaces.
• Vacuum gently using a suitable upholstery attachment when needed.

For embroidered bedding, gentle handling helps protect both the fabric and the embroidery.

• Air bedding regularly in a shaded, well-ventilated area.
• Avoid excessive heat.
• Do not use bleach or harsh detergents.
• Follow the care instructions supplied with the individual product.

If a spill occurs, act gently and promptly. Do not rub the affected area.

• Blot gently with a clean, dry, absorbent cloth.
• Do not scrub the embroidery.
• Avoid applying household stain removers directly to the fabric.
• If the stain persists, consult a professional textile cleaner before attempting further treatment.

Because fabrics, embroidery techniques, dyes, and finishes can vary, professional textile cleaning is recommended when deeper cleaning is required.

Always tell the cleaner that the piece contains hand embroidery and ask them to assess the textile before treatment.

When storing your textiles for an extended period, choose a clean, dry, well-ventilated space away from direct sunlight.

• Make sure the textile is completely dry before storage.
• Avoid storing in damp or humid areas.
• Avoid tightly compressing embroidered pieces.
• Keep textiles away from strong fragrances, chemicals, and direct heat.
