How to Care for Your Fiber Art Purchases by Frances Clements Fawcett/Artist and Delight Detective

Taking care of your fiber art purchases

2nd Ewes Felted Art Ware Purses

Your new purse is a wearable art object! Spot clean only using a brush or dry/damp cloth. You may use a sweater de-fuzzing tool to remove any stray bits of wool that may appear on your piece. Please do not machine wash the purse! The purse may distort, shrink and/or continue to felt. Vintage buttons do not fare well with chemical cleaners.

2nd Ewes Felted Art Ware Sculptures

Please treat your sculpture gently. Spot clean or dust as needed with a barely damp cloth. If possible, display your new sculpture away from direct sunlight. While many of my embellished sculptures are whimsical, they are not meant to be used as toys for children or pets. Please be sure to keep your sculpture away from curious, hands and mouths.

2nd Ewes Felted Cuff Bracelets and Pins

Please treat your Moxie and/or Florabunda felted cuff bracelets and pins as wearable fiber art pieces. Spot clean them as needed with a damp cloth. If they become very soiled, you may swish them very gently in a cold water bath using a mild wool wash soap such as Eucalan or Forever New Ovation Liquid.

Please be especially careful with the vintage buttons and beaded embellishments– please do not allow them to soak in water as they may become damaged or weakened. Allow the fiber cuff bracelet or pin to air dry.

Hand Dyed Silk and Velvet Scarves

Please hand wash the scarf separately in a basin of cold water with a gentle, non-detergent soap. Gently roll the scarf up in towel to sop up extra moisture, then hang to dry. Untangle any snarls in the fringe with a wide tooth comb.

To iron any wrinkles, place the scarf, face down, on a clean towel. Gently press, using a a cool setting on your iron, and a little steam.

Although I’ve taken care to rinse the scarves thoroughly, a small amount of excess dye may show up in your rinse water. This should not affect the color of the scarf.
