How to Care for Your Embroidered Crew Neck Sweatshirt

Quick answer

To keep your embroidered crew neck sweatshirt looking its best, wash it inside out on a gentle cycle with cold water, then air dry flat. Avoid the dryer and high heat to protect the embroidery.

Step-by-step care instructions

1. Turn inside out: Before washing, turn your sweatshirt inside out. This protects the embroidery from rubbing against other clothes or the machine drum. A common mistake is washing right-side out, which can snag threads.
2. Use cold water and gentle cycle: Set your washing machine to cold water and a gentle or delicate cycle. Hot water can shrink the fabric and loosen embroidery threads.
3. Air dry flat: After washing, reshape the sweatshirt and lay it flat on a drying rack or clean towel. Avoid the dryer—high heat can shrink the terry fabric and damage the embroidery. Never wring or twist the sweatshirt; this distorts the shape and embroidery.
4. Store folded, not hung: Fold your sweatshirt and store it in a drawer or shelf. Hanging can stretch the neckline and put stress on the embroidered area over time. For long-term storage, place acid-free tissue paper between folds to prevent creasing on the embroidery.
