What sustainable practices does your business follow?
At Stitched by Avalon, we are deeply committed to sustainability and implement several practices to minimize our environmental impact:
-
Use of Sustainable Materials: Due to a wool allergy, we have explored alternative eco-friendly materials and discovered the benefits of using mill ends. Mill ends are yarn scraps from the yarn mill that would otherwise end up in landfill. By repurposing these materials, we not only reduce waste but also create unique, one-of-a-kind pieces that are both beautiful and environmentally responsible.
-
Handmade Production: At Stitched by avalon all of our products are handmade. Handmade production fosters ethical labor practices, providing fair wages and better working conditions compared to the often exploitative labor practices in fast fashion. Each item is crafted with care and minimal environmental impact compared to mass production methods.
-
Eco-Friendly Packaging: We use sustainable packaging materials that are either recyclable or biodegradable, reducing the environmental impact of our shipping process.
​
By integrating these sustainable practices, Stitched by Avalon not only provides beautiful, unique products but also contributes to a more sustainable and environmentally-friendly fashion industry.
How do IÂ care for my crochet items from Stitched by Avalon?
To maintain the beauty and longevity of your handmade crochet items from Stitched by Avalon, follow these care instructions:
​
Spot Washing:
-
Gently clean any spots or stains using a mild detergent and cold water.
-
Dampen a soft cloth with the soapy solution and gently dab the affected area. Avoid rubbing, as this can cause fibers to fray.
-
Rinse the cloth with clean water and dab the spot again to remove any soap residue.
-
Lay the item flat on a clean towel to air dry.
​
Steaming:
-
If your crochet product becomes bent or creased, steaming can help restore its shape.
-
Use a handheld steamer or the steam setting on your iron. Ensure the iron does not touch the fabric directly to prevent damage.
-
While steaming, use your hands to gently reshape the item if necessary. Be cautious, as the fabric can become hot.
-
Allow the item to air dry completely before using or storing it.
​
General Tips:
-
Avoid exposing your crochet items to direct sunlight for extended periods, as this can cause colors to fade.
-
Store your crochet pieces flat or gently rolled to maintain their shape. Avoid hanging them, as this can stretch the fabric.
-
Keep your items away from sharp objects that could snag the yarn.
​
By following these care instructions, your crochet products will remain beautiful and in great condition for years to come.
