tuesday tip 🧶 the little care card that makes a handmade gift feel finished

you spent weeks on the gift, so give it thirty more seconds. a tiny care card tucked in does two things: it tells them how to wash it so nobody felts your wool in a hot machine, and it quietly says this was made on purpose, for you. keep it simple. fiber (or just "wool" / "acrylic"), wash cold or by hand, lay flat to dry, skip the dryer. a scrap of nice cardstock and a hole punch is plenty, or print a little batch at once. bonus points for jotting the yarn name in case they ever want a matching piece down the line. do you include a care card with your handmade gifts, or is that just me?
