How to Handle and Store Handmade Textiles
Prepare a clean, dry, flat surface; wash and dry your hands; remove jewellery that can catch; and support the textile's full weight while moving it.

Condition, materials, construction, climate, value, and cultural protocol can change the correct plan. These guides explain the questions to settle before handling or storage.
