Researchers at Cambridge University found that homemade masks are surprisingly effective at reducing the transmission of viruses. When they tested Bacteriophage MS2 particles (at 0.02 microns, they're five times smaller than COVID-19) they found that surgical masks were 89% effective. Linen is 62% effective at stopping transmission, and easier to breathe through as well.  

This mask is made of a double layer of oatmeal linen and secured using elastics around the ears. It has white topstitching on one side and black on the other so that the inside and outside of the mask can be told apart at a glance. If you would prefer ribbon ties instead of elastic, just leave a note at checkout. These masks are machine washable and will shrink slightly if washed and dried; for slightly larger faces you may prefer to hand wash to avoid this slight shrinkage.
Due to the nature of this product, we cannot accept returns. These are not medical grade.

Care information

Linen handkerchiefs may be washed via delicate cycle in a washing machine (no bleach) or for best results, by hand. Iron hot, with steam, on the backside of the work. Any stitches pushed out of place from the iron can gently be prodded back into place. A cotton or mesh laundry bag will help protect your piece from getting snagged.

Temari should not be washed, just dusted if necessary. If needed, you can wet a cloth in hot water and wring it out quite well, and use that to spot-wash. Temari are made of fibers all the way through, so a wash or soak would mean that the inside would never dry.

Our embroidered blankets are made with wool, and should be handwashed gently in cool water.

Goldwork embroidery should only be washed by a professional. Other embroidery is best cleaned as for temari (especially framed hoop work) though wearable accessories may be put through the wash on a gentle cycle or hand washed.
