Should you wash it warm? Cold? Does it need to be hand washed? Will it affect the quality? Will it run, stretch, or alter the fit? Should I even wash it at all…?

These are all valid questions that arise when faced with a handmade item – after all, it doesn’t usually come with a handy label telling you how to care for it. When it comes to yarns, the sheer variety of materials available can also confuse things further – can you treat wool the same as you would cotton? Can you wash man-made yarn such as acrylic?
