Be cautious of rough surfaces and jewelry that could catch on the knit. If a small snag occurs, try to gently pull the yarn back into place with a needle. For larger snags, professional repair may be necessary.
Dress losing shape after washing
Ensure the garment is laid flat to dry and not hung when wet. Re-shape the dress while damp if needed. If significant stretching occurs, consider professional reshaping services.
