Our highly resistant, colourfast dyes mean your embroidery won't fade as a result of washing or exposure to light. It's easy to understand why we sell one million skeins of our flagship stranded cotton around the world every day. CARE & WASHING Colours are washable and fade resistant. Please take into account the fabric onto which you have embroidered. We recommend washing with a mild soap. After washing, wrap your embroidery in a towel to remove excess water, then dry flat. Place your embroidery on a clean cloth, preferably while still damp, and iron on the reverse side, at the temperature setting recommended for the fabric.
