Expert Advice
Tips from our artisans to help you get the most from your handcrafted items.
Sunlight Exposure
Natural dyes may fade with prolonged sun exposure. Rotate displayed items periodically to ensure even aging.
Moisture Control
Avoid storing items in damp areas. Use silica gel packets in storage containers to absorb excess moisture.
Gentle Handling
Handle ceramic pieces from the base rather than handles or spouts to prevent stress on delicate joints.
Air Circulation
Store wool items in breathable containers. Plastic can trap moisture and promote mildew growth.

Care FAQ
Answers to frequently asked questions about maintaining your handcrafted items.
Can I machine wash wool?
We recommend hand washing only. Machine washing can cause shrinkage and damage the delicate fibers of hand-knitted pieces.
Are ceramics oven-safe?
Our standard ceramics are decorative or for serving. Please check individual product notes for oven-safe items.
Can baskets get wet?
Brief exposure to moisture is fine, but avoid submerging baskets in water as this can weaken the woven structure over time.
