How to use knitted bags correctly
Knitted bags differ slightly from the usual handbags made of leather, suede, substitute and other materials. They will have to be washed more often, as the yarn is very soiled. When drying, be especially careful, as the fiber can overstretch and therefore it is advisable to dry on a flat surface.
