Thicker wool	6 mm	14 stitches
Fine wool	3 mm	26 stitches

Care instructions for knitted headbands

When it comes to caring for knitted headbands, it is important to use the right methods to maintain the longevity and quality of the knit. Below you will find tips on washing and drying as well as storage tips for your knitted headbands.

washing and drying

To keep your knitted headbands looking great for a long time, it is advisable to wash and dry them gently. Hand washing is usually the best option as it is gentler on the knitted fibres and prevents accidental shrinkage.

material	washing instructions
Wool	Hand wash in cold water with mild shampoo or special wool detergent
Cotton	Machine wash on gentle cycle with similar colors and low temperature
Acrylic	Machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water, ideally in a laundry bag

After washing, the headband should be gently squeezed to remove excess water, but not wrung out as this could damage the fibers. Lay the headband flat on an absorbent towel and gently roll it to absorb excess moisture before laying it out to dry. Avoid placing knitted headbands directly in the sun or on a heating source as this can damage the fibers.

storage tips

To ensure that your knitted headbands are well preserved and do not suffer from deformation or damage, it is advisable to store them properly. Store your headbands in a dry and ventilated place to avoid mold growth.

For extra safety, you can wrap your knitted headbands in tissue paper to protect them from dust and light. Alternatively, you can store them in a cloth bag or storage box. Be careful not to fold or stack the headbands too tightly to maintain the shape and elasticity of the knitted item.

Proper care and storage will ensure that your knitted headbands remain beautiful and durable for a long time. Treat them with care and follow these simple care instructions to enjoy your handmade pieces.
