PROJECT TIP

Care Guide for Handmade Gifts

When you give a knit or crochet item as a gift, include a small tag, label, or note with care instructions that are specific to the yarn from which it was made. This will save the recipient from having to guess how to clean or care for the item and avoid potential damage due to incorrect laundering.
