The care instructions vary depending on the item. We have found great success with machine wash and dry. The Bamboo Baby Blanket for example has been laundered many times over without any problems. We recommend machine wash in warm water on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Machine dry, low. Press with a cool iron, using a press cloth. If you are weaving a scarf with fringe or an intricate table runner you may prefer to hand wash.
