To best protect your handmade garments, we recommend the following:
-In a medium size basin, hand wash in lukewarm or warm water. Add a small amount of gentle detergent
-gently squeeze out excess water, without wringing the cloth too much as this will misshape your clothing and can snap threads.
-hang to dry under moonlight, in the shade, or indoors.
-Drying in Direct Sunlight will cause your clothing to fade. If you do choose to dry outdoors, hang clothing inside out.
Your Serpent & Bow beauties are durable and CAN be machine washed and dried if you wish!
Launder inside out in a lingerie bag if you prefer to machine wash.
With the exception of natural white pieces, Garments are pre-shrunk.
MORE ABOUT WASHING:
Your washing routine can become a complex spellwork, if you wish! The act of washing has long been associated with magic. Washing can be:
-a simple act of cleansing and purification, neutralizing any charge that may have built upon an object/space/being.
-a way to clear and cast protection
-A preliminary action meant to prepare an object/space/being for rite of passage, ceremony, or important task.
-A way to connect to ancestors, by performing a timeless task undertaken by all humans.
Expect color to shift over time, in response to the natural minerals in your wash water.
Natural dyes are sensitive to shifts in PH.
This is living botanical color.
Store out of direct sunlight when not in use
Ideas for Storing your Ritual Garments:
-with lavender or rose petals
-wrapped in a silk scarf
-inside a designated drawer, lined with gold paper
-in a small basket or travel case, alongside a notebook record of your most divine personal rituals
