Product info and care


 

  • All my fabrics are of the highest quality

    All Sea Parrot fabric manufacturers have received the OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certification for their fabrics.

    OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 is a leading safety label for textile products around the world. The certificate is given once all of the criteria for every step of textile manufacturing have been met.

    OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 quality certificate is issued by the International Association for Research and Testing in the Field of Ecology of Textiles and Leather. Products bearing this mark are free from harmful substances in concentrations that have a negative impact on human health. The certification process checks the levels of pesticides, chlorophenols, allergenic dyes, formaldehyde and heavy metals.

  • Washing instructions

    These apply to all Sea Parrot fabrics:

    If you are going to wash your sewn item after it has been made, wash your fabrics before sewing, because shrinkage is likely to occur. When washing Sea Parrot fabrics for the first time, wash light and dark colours separately because colours may bleed. If machine washing, use a gentle cycle and place fabrics in a tied up cotton bag or pillow case. This will reduce fraying. Alternatively, hand wash. Wash sea parrot fabrics at 30 degrees with a mild detergent.
