We understand that since they are your handmade creations, proper care should be taken to preserve them and ensure their durability and longevity. However, since each macramé project varies in size and purpose, you would need to refer back to the pattern’s care requirements for accuracy. Nevertheless, here are some of the methods you can follow to ensure that your projects are safely taken care of.  1. Hand-wash your pieces in cold water using a mild soap.  2. When drying, lay it flat on a dry towel and roll it up to absorb the water. Avoid wringing or squeezing as it may damage the cords and tangle them.  3. Once the towel has soaked up all the moisture, lay your pieces flat on a shaded surface, directed away from sunlight. Sunlight might cause your cord’s color to fade and wooden dowels to brittle.  4. Finally, to keep your macramé looking fresh, gently dust it with a soft brush or cloth as needed once it has thoroughly dried. This will help to detangle the cords and retain their original shape.
