How do I care for the children’s clothing from Maud & Olive Handmade?
All clothing items are made of pre-washed 100% cotton. We recommend machine washing on the cold cycle and then hanging to dry - a quick touch up with the iron gives a nice finish, if you wish!
Do I need to wash the jelly roll fabric before use?
What do I do with beeswax wraps?
How do I care for beeswax wraps?
We recommend that you do NOT wash the jelly roll fabric before using it. It has been precisely cut for jelly roll patterns. If you wish, go ahead and wash your quilt once it is fully assembled so that any shrinkage will not compromise the final product.
Beeswax wraps are an excellent alternative to single use plastic wrap. They are made of 100% cotton, locally sourced pure beeswax that has been rendered and filtered, food-grade jojoba oil and pine resin. The warmth of your hands allows the wrap to temporarily adhere to itself, glass or ceramic. Use the beeswax wraps to cover bowls and wrap cheese or cut fruit and vegetables. No meat, please!
Simply wash the beeswax wrap in cool water with mild dishsoap. Hot water will melt the wax! Air dry. Do not microwave.
