Here at Cottage Garden Threads, we strive to produce high quality dependable products that undergo several processes to ensure colour and light fastness. We are able to back up this claim with the results from Australian Standard testing conducted at the textile production facilities within R.M.I.T Melbourne as well as our own regular quality control testing.
As with all textile products, the aftercare is very important. Please use these instructions to care for your completed work using Cottage Garden Threads and Trims.
*Gently hand wash in warm water with soft soap. Squeeze to remove excess water.
*Place immediately onto a dry towel, roll up and squeese firmly. Remove from towel and air dry.
*For quilt tops; spin gently in machine and air dry completely.
*DO NOT - leave stitchery wet or press using water and or fabric spray. Do not press from front.
*DO NOT USE COLD WATER.
These instructions will now be printed on the back of the threads card packaging so you will always have them close by.

Hi Susan,
Just keep in mind that this is what we have found for our products, but may not apply for "others" as the dying processes may be different.

Thanks for that info. I will circulate it to my friends too - I am surprised about not using cold water - I have had serious issues with "other" threads running - and of course I had used cold water! Never again in case the same is true of other dyed threads.
