Bag Care
To properly care for OMA, hand wash it in cold water with a mild detergent and lay it flat to air dry. Avoid using bleach and machine washing to prevent damage and help maintain its shape.
Storage
-
Store loosely stuffed: Lightly OMA with tissue paper or a clean cloth to help it maintain its shape during storage.
-
Cool, dry, and dark place: Store your OMA in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.
-
Avoid overloading: Don't overload OMA, as this can cause the yarn to stretch and lose its structure.
Cleaning
-
Spot clean for small stains: Use a damp cloth with mild soap to gently blot out small stains. Only soak the entire bag if necessary.
-
Hand wash when needed: For a full wash, soak OMA in cool water with a mild detergent. Gently squeeze out the water without wringing and rinse thoroughly.
-
Avoid machine washing: Machine washing can cause fraying, loss of elasticity, and shrinkage.
-
Reshape and dry flat: After washing, reshape OMA and lay her flat on a clean towel to air dry completely in a shaded area.
-
Tumble dry on low (optional): If you use a dryer, opt for a low setting, but air drying is often safer to maintain shape and prevent excessive stretching.
Maintenance
-
Protect from sharp objects: Keep Oma away from sharp objects that could snag the yarn and cause damage.
-
Regular inspection: Periodically inspect OMA for any signs of wear or loose stitches and address them promptly.
