Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, organize your acrylic yarn by color to prevent tangling. Because the canvas is pre-printed, avoid getting the fabric wet before finishing, as water may affect the printed guide. When finished, you may gently steam press the back of the piece to remove any creases. Store your needle safely in a pincushion when not in use, and keep the canvas free of dust and pet hair to maintain the vibrancy of the acrylic fibers.
