How to Take Care of Your Crochet Flowers
One of the most beautiful things about crochet flower bouquets is their ability to last forever. Unlike fresh flowers that wilt within days, handmade crochet flowers retain their beauty indefinitely—if you take care of them properly. Whether you've purchased a bouquet from our YShomy collection or received one as a thoughtful gift, here's how to keep your crochet flowers looking as vibrant and charming as the day you got them.
1. Keep Them Clean and Dust-Free
Over time, dust can settle on the yarn fibers and dull the colors of your crochet flowers. To prevent this:
Use a soft makeup brush or a small handheld vacuum on a low setting to gently remove dust.
You can also use a can of compressed air to blow away any stubborn particles trapped between petals.
Avoid using wet cloths or sprays, as moisture can damage the shape and structure of the yarn.
Regular gentle cleaning—every few weeks or so—will help your flowers maintain their original texture and hue.
2. Store Them Away from Direct Sunlight
Just like fabric or paper, yarn colors can fade when exposed to direct sunlight for long periods.
Place your bouquet in a shaded area or away from windows where harsh sunlight may bleach the fibers.
If you're decorating a sunny spot, consider rotating your bouquet occasionally to ensure even light exposure.
Preserving the original vibrancy of your crochet flowers ensures they'll continue to brighten your space for years.
3. Avoid Humidity and Moisture
Although crochet flowers don't require water, they are sensitive to moisture. Humid environments can lead to yarn becoming limp or even moldy over time.
Keep them in a dry, well-ventilated room.
Avoid placing them near humidifiers, bathrooms, or kitchens where moisture levels are typically higher.
If your bouquet accidentally gets damp, gently air dry it in a cool area away from direct heat.
Maintaining a dry environment is key to preserving the bouquet's shape and integrity.
4. Reshape Gently if Needed
Each YShomy crochet flower stem contains a flexible inner wire, allowing you to adjust the arrangement as needed.
If petals get bent or the bouquet loses its shape, you can gently reposition each flower to restore its original look.
Be careful not to pull too hard—just a slight adjustment is usually all it takes.
This flexibility allows you to restyle your bouquet from time to time or reconfigure it for a new vase or display setting.
5. Rotate for Seasonal Decor or Special Occasions
Crochet flower bouquets are perfect for everyday home décor, but they also make wonderful seasonal accents.
Try pairing your bouquet with themed ribbons or display it in a holiday-themed vase for Valentine's Day, Easter, Mother's Day, or Christmas.
You can also combine flowers from different bouquets to create a new look each season.
This versatility keeps your crochet blooms exciting, relevant, and ever-evolving.
Eternal Beauty for the One and Only You
At YShomy, every flower is a labor of love. Each petal takes over 20 minutes to crochet, and an entire bouquet can take up to 8 hours to complete. The effort and care poured into every design make them not just beautiful gifts, but deeply meaningful ones.
Taking the time to care for your crochet flowers honors the love and craftsmanship behind them—and lets their message of joy, love, and connection live on.
Because something made with love deserves to last forever.
