HOW TO CARE FOR OUR PRODUCTS
Q: What are PinchPenny Threads products made of?
A. Most of our products are made of cotton that has been washed and dried. Sometimes we use pieces of linen, polyester-cotton blend, polyester batting, rayon, or other fabrics. Most items are machine-washable and machine-dryable. Please avoid using chlorine bleach as it will fade the colors.
Q: Are PinchPenny Threads products made of wool?
A: We generally don't use wool, animal fiber (such as alpaca hair), or silk, as we are sensitive to these fibers. Also, fabrics made of animal fibers usually require special care, such as hand washing.
Q: Will PinchPenny Threads products need to be ironed?
A: They may need to be touched up, especially apron ties and pieces of linen. We put a lining on some products to reduce wrinkling.
Q: What if my PinchPenny Threads product is made of vintage linens or fabric, like a feedsack apron, embroidered table runner, or repurposed tablecloth?
A: We suggest you wash it gently. You should treat stains quickly and gently.
Q: Are there any PinchPenny Threads products I shouldn't wash?
A: Yes. Some items contain plant matter that should stay dry. Funkins (fun pumpkins) may have dried bean stuffing and wooden stems. Lavender sachets contain lavender buds. Pincushions are stuffed with crushed walnut shell.
Q: Can I wash and dry my knit PinchPenny Threads products?
A: We knit with cotton, cotton-acrylic blend, or acrylic yarns. You can wash and dry them gently.
Q: Can I hang my PinchPenny Threads products on the clothesline?
A: By all means! However, you might want to hang bright colors away from the sun. Also, don't leave your items out in the sun or rain too long, as the colors may fade and the stitching may become weakened. See our Top Ten Rules for hanging out laundry.
