Hemp is considerable more durable than any other types of fabrics, so you can use the washing machine without potentially damaging the fibres as long as you set it in a gentle, cold temperature cycle.

The machine delicate cycle uses a slower process of washing where it washes with lesser agitation and uses a slow spin cycle. Use environmental-friendly detergent and if there are any stains; apply stain remover and let it soak in for 10 minutes prior to washing in the machine.

Best to seperate your light and dark hemp pieces and keep the delicates away either in a seperate wash or place it in a washing bag to avoid any damage. Do not use bleach as it weakens the fibres and may cause discolouration or fabric softener as hemp naturally gets softer after a few washes.

To dry hemp you want to protect the fabric from direct sunlight. Hang or line dry your hemp to avoid wrinkles. Once dry, turn the time inside out and use high heat temperature on the underside first.

Some tips on machine washing and caring for your pieces:

• If your handmade piece is delicate and your washing with other garments with zips or embellishment we suggest placing your item in a washing bag to avoid it getting caught on during the cycle.

• If your item is digitally printed like our headscarves, iron on the wrong side.

As always, please read the care instructions for your item for any specific washing instructions provided.
