How to Care for Your Handmade Macrame Pieces

Each of our macrame cover ups is carefully made. Whether it’s one of our statement dresses or bags, proper care is key to making sure any of your handwoven textiles stay beautiful for years to come.

Here’s our guide to caring for your handmade macramé pieces:

1. Washing Your Macramé Cover Up

You might be wondering, Can you wash macrame cover up? The answer is YES! But handmade macramé is delicate—so gentle washing is a must.

• Hand wash only with cold water and mild detergent
• Do not wring or twist your item, as this can stretch or distort the knots.
• Gently press out excess water using a towel.
• Lay flat to dry, reshaping if needed.

✦ Tip: Avoid at all times machine washing and dryers—they can damage the fibers and the structure of your piece.

2. Steaming vs. Ironing

Our macrame pieces can get wrinkles if not stored properly, but steaming is your best friend.

• Use a handheld steamer to gently relax any creases or folds.
• If you don’t have a steamer, hang your item in the bathroom while you take a hot shower—the steam will help smooth it out.
• Avoid direct contact with a hot iron, especially on textured knots.

3. Storing Your Macramé pieces to keep them in shape:

• Hang it if possible to avoid wrinkles or creases.
• If folding, place it in a breathable cotton bag or wrap it in tissue to prevent snagging.
• Keep it away from direct sunlight when stored, as prolonged exposure can cause discoloration over time.

4. General Tips for Longevity

• Be gentle when wearing or removing your piece—avoid sharp jewelry or zippers that can catch on knots.
• Spot clean small stains right away with a damp cloth.
• Keep your macrame dress away from perfumes, lotions, or harsh chemicals.
