Care & Sewing Tips
Pre-washing is recommended as Tencel can have slight shrinkage. Use a fine microtex or universal needle (size 70/10) to avoid snags. To maintain the unique puckered texture, hand wash or use a gentle machine cycle in cold water and hang to dry. If ironing is necessary, use a low heat setting and a pressing cloth to avoid flattening the crinkle or damaging the nylon fibers.
