Care Information

 

We want all Cosy Organic items to be worn and loved for as long as possible. Given a little care and following washing instructions each item can last for generations. We recommend washing all Cosy Organic items on a low 30° temperature. Use a gentle machine cycle with an organic detergent to protect the natural fibres. Avoid twisting or stretching your item and lay flat in a warm room to dry.

 

Alpaca has a self-cleaning ability, so you do not need to wash it regularly. Airing and a gentle brush can be just as effective as washing. Ideally Alpaca should be washed as little as possible hence each beanie has a detachable pom pom to facilitate minimal washing.

 

All fabric and threads are plant dyed by hand in the studio. Due to this natural process, we do not recommend using any products that contain alcohol or chemicals as this will result in fading. In order for the plant dye colour to attach to the fabric, we use soya milk to act as a natural mordant. You may notice colour variation in your item where the mordant may not have taken to the fabric evenly. This is all part of the charm and uniqueness of natural dying!
