Washing Tips

Organic Cotton:

Always wash with a mild detergent and like colours. All garments, regardless of colour should be washed in cold water (its better for the environment). Lay flat, hang or put in dryer on low temperature for drying. As we do not treat our fabrics with any chemicals, you may want to iron your tee to remove wrinkles. In this case, follow the temperature setting on your iron and avoid ironing directly over any prints.

Mending a hole

Double thread a needle. You don’t need to knot the thread, as you can tie the thread ends in a knot when finished (this will make the knot thinner).

Gather up all the loops of thread with a few back-and-forth stitches. If you need to, you can make a few crosswise stitches, zigzagging in the opposite direction.

Tie the ends of thread together and cut.
