A good shawl earns its place in your rotation. Treat it like something beloved — not fragile, just respected — and it will keep returning the favour.
Wash with patience
Hand wash in cold water with mild detergent. Avoid wringing. Press water out gently between towels, then dry flat away from harsh sunlight.
Store with space
Fold loosely or hang on a soft hanger. Keep satin and crepe away from rough zippers. A breathable pouch beats plastic every time.
