How to Care for Your Crochet Flowers and Keepsakes

Built to last — with a little care

One of the joys of a handmade crochet flower is that it never wilts. With a few simple habits, your forever flowers and keepsakes will stay beautiful for years.

Keep them dust-free

Give your flowers a gentle dust every so often with a soft, dry brush, a hairdryer on a cool low setting, or a quick going-over with a lint roller for flatter pieces. This keeps the yarn looking fresh.

Spot-clean only

If a mark appears, dab gently with a slightly damp cloth and mild soap, then let it air dry fully. Avoid soaking — crochet pieces with wire stems or fillings are best kept out of water.

Mind the sunlight

Like most textiles, yarn colours can fade in strong, direct sunlight over time. Display your bouquet somewhere bright but out of harsh, all-day sun to keep the colours rich.

Reshape and store with care

Gently reshape petals and leaves with your fingers if they get squashed. If you need to store a piece away, wrap it loosely in tissue and keep it somewhere dry.

A keepsake to treasure
