The Mapula range is embroidered on black, 100% Edenrose cotton fabric, made in South Africa.
The embroidery thread is Elle Crochet no 5, made in South Africa (using imported acrylic raw materials)
Washing instructions: Best is to hand-wash with wool-friendly detergent and hang in a shady place as the fabric can fade in the sun.
Iron the product face-down on a towel with a steam iron. Don’t use a very hot iron as the embroidery thread is synthetic and can melt.
All items are pre-shrunk but you are advised to follow the washing instructions on the Mapula tag carefully.
