Joules Isobel Shirt - Multicolor - Size: 22

Use a mild detergent specifically designed for delicates or wool. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach, as these can damage the cotton fibers and the crochet work.

Dry cleaning is generally not recommended for 100% cotton crochet items, as the chemicals used can affect the fabric's texture and shape. Hand washing or a gentle machine wash is preferred.

It is best to store the shirt folded flat in a drawer or on a shelf. Avoid hanging it for long periods, as the weight of the fabric can cause it to stretch and lose its original shape.

While the overall multicolor theme is consistent, the exact placement and proportion of colors in crochet items can sometimes vary slightly, making each piece unique.

The best approach is to hang the garment after washing and allow it to air dry. If wrinkles persist, use a steamer on a low setting, keeping it a distance from the fabric, or iron very gently from the reverse side on a cool setting.

Given the nature of crochet and potential for stretching, if you are between sizes, consider the looser fit if you prefer a more relaxed drape, or the smaller size if you want it to be more fitted and are concerned about it stretching out over time. Always refer to the brand's specific size chart if available.

Gently reshape the garment while it is damp and lay it flat to dry on a towel. Avoid wringing or stretching. For future washes, ensure you are using a cool, delicate cycle and laying flat to dry.

Be mindful of where you sit or place the garment. If a small snag occurs, try to gently pull the yarn back into place from the reverse side. Avoid pulling aggressively.

Always wash with similar colors, especially for the first few washes. Use a cold water setting and a mild detergent. Test a small, inconspicuous area with water if concerned about colorfastness.
