Fabric Information - Sherpa

Care Instructions:
- Washing: Machine wash in cold water on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners to protect the fabric’s softness and texture.
- Drying: Tumble dry on low heat or air dry. High heat can damage the fabric’s fibers and affect its plush texture.
- Ironing: Ironing is generally not recommended due to the fabric’s thick, plush nature. If necessary, use a very low heat setting and a pressing cloth.
- Storage: Store folded in a cool, dry place. Avoid compressing the fabric to maintain its fluffy texture.
Use Instructions:
- Warm and Cozy Projects: Ideal for creating warm garments like jackets, hoodies, blankets, and loungewear due to its plush, insulating properties.
- Cutting: Use sharp fabric scissors or a rotary cutter for clean edges. The thick pile may require careful cutting to ensure precision.
- Sewing: Use a universal or ballpoint needle (size 90/14) and a longer stitch length to accommodate the fabric’s thickness. A walking foot or dual-feed system can help manage the bulk and prevent stretching or puckering.
- Pre-Washing: Pre-washing is recommended to remove any potential manufacturing residues and to check for any slight shrinkage before cutting and sewing.
By following these care and use instructions, your sherpa fabric projects will maintain their soft, plush feel and durability, making them perfect for cozy, warm clothing and accessories.
