Description

This is a set of 8 matching Fiber Care tags. Attach them to your lovely handknits, telling the lucky recipient what fibers you used, and how to properly care for them!

The design, which complements my "HANDS KNIT No. 2 Maine 1921" Note Card & Postcard gift sets, began with a vintage snapshot of a woman knitting in a boat on a Maine lake, which I restored then digitally altered and colorwashed with shades of mauve and lavender.

(The card collages are done in shades of teal, blue and green, so these tags look wonderful with them, but not too "matchy-matchy".)

Beside the knitting woman is the text "Hand Knit". My original design is surrounded by festive stars, and I've added a matching mauve satin ribbon tie.

Fiber Care Wording

On the back, I print Fiber Care text, reading "Knitted for You!", "Fiber Content:", and "Fiber Care", with the image of a ball of yarn with knitting needles ... or of course any text of your choosing.

Custom Text Choices

As I create each set of tags individually to your order, you can also choose alternate text, such as "Happy Birthday", "Be My Valentine", "Merry Christmas" or "Happy Holidays" ... or any alternate wording you'd like. Just let me know in Notes to Seller, or email me.

How I Make Them

I hand-cut each tag to measure approximately 3-1/2 inches x 2 inches, and attach a matching satin tie. (The ribbon may vary slightly from that shown here, but will always be pink, mauve or lavender unless you request otherwise!)

I print my design on heavyweight 80-lb. cream card stock, using a combination of ink jet pigmented inks for brilliance, and color laser toner for permanence.

Thanks for stopping by my Store!
