Care Guide for
Crochet Footwear.

A little care goes a long way. These simple habits will keep your handmade pair looking and feeling new for years.

Essential Tips

Six habits that protect your pair

Most damage to crochet footwear comes from one bad habit. Avoid these and your shoes will outlast their warranty.

Clean gently

Spot clean with a soft damp cloth and a drop of mild soap. Wipe in the direction of the stitch.

Avoid harsh washing

No machine wash, no soaking, no harsh detergents. Crochet thread doesn't love rough treatment.

Dry in shade

Air dry away from direct sunlight. The sun fades color over time, especially our deep reds.

Store dry

Keep them in a dry place when not worn. A breathable cotton bag works perfectly.

Mind the terrain

These are made for indoor wear, light errands, and city streets — not hiking or rough outdoor use.

Rest between wears

Rotate your pairs. Letting each pair rest a day extends their life considerably.

The Material

Why parachute thread
helps so much.

The single biggest reason our footwear lasts is the material it's crocheted from. Parachute thread is engineered to be strong, lightweight, and resistant to wear.

  • Stronger fiber
    Resists fraying, stretching, and pulling under daily stress.
  • Holds its shape
    Where wool sags after a few weeks, parachute thread keeps its form.
  • Lightweight comfort
    Less than half the weight of wool. You barely notice you're wearing them.
  • Color stays true
    Less prone to fading when cared for properly.

Common Questions

Care & longevity FAQ

Not in a washing machine. Crochet thread loosens when soaked. The safest method is spot cleaning with a soft damp cloth and a tiny amount of mild soap, working gently in the direction of the stitch. Air dry in shade.
