5. Care Instructions

To preserve your shawl’s delicate fringe, soft texture, and metallic sheen:

Washing: Place inside a mesh laundry bag. Machine wash on cool, gentle cycle with mild detergent. Best washed separately or with similar colors.

Drying: For best results and to prevent fringe tangling, lay flat to dry in the shade. May be tumble-dried on low/delicate in a laundry bag if needed.

Ironing / Steaming: Do not iron directly on the metallic thread. If needed, use a low iron with a pressing cloth between the iron and the fabric, or use a handheld garment steamer.

NOTE: Do not bleach. Do not dry clean. Avoid high heat.

6. Styling Inspiration

The Alt-Academic / Cozy Romance Look: Layered over high-waisted pleated skirts, graphic tees, or dark turtlenecks with chunky boots.

The Renaissance Faire / Fantasy Gathering: Draped over a bodice, corset, or flowing chemise for an immediate necromancer, night-court fae, or dark witch aesthetic.

The Cozy Reading Nook: The ultimate oversized reading wrap to keep you warm while turning pages late into the night.
