Are your favorite hand-knitted pieces pilling, stretching, or looking a little worse for wear? Don’t worry—I’ve got you! In this video, I’m sharing simple, stress-free tips on how to properly wash, block, and store your knitted garments so they stay soft, beautiful, and ready to wear for years to come.

Whether you’re a beginner knitter or a long-time pro, learning how to care for your knits is just as important as making them. I’ll walk you through:

✅ When and how to hand wash your knits

✅ What detergents and tools to use

✅ Drying and reshaping tips

✅ Storage do’s and don’ts (moth-proof your stash!)

This is all part of my no-stress knitting philosophy—we’re here to enjoy the process and keep our handmade treasures looking their best.
