Sizing & Fit Guide for yarnS studio Pieces

Each yarnS studio piece is meticulously handcrafted with high-quality yarns that provide natural stretch and fluid drape. To help you choose the perfect size, please review the guidelines below.

1. Understanding the Fit

• Bamboo & Tencel Blend (60% Bamboo, 40% Tencel): This fiber combination is known for its exceptional softness, breathability, and natural elasticity.

• High Stretch & Drape: Bamboo yarn offers moderate to high stretch, allowing the garment to mold to the body while maintaining its shape.

• Relaxation Over Time: Due to its drapey nature, the fabric may loosen slightly with wear but will recover after washing.

• Flexible Fit: The stretchiness provides ease across sizes, making the garment adaptable to different body shapes.

2. How to Choose Your Size

📏 Measure Your Body – Use a soft tape measure around your bust, waist, and hips, keeping the tape snug but not tight.
📏 Find Your Best Fit – If between sizes, consider if you prefer a more fitted or relaxed look. The garment will naturally conform to your shape.
📏 Standard Sizing Flexibility – Due to the stretchy nature of the fabric, each size covers a range of measurements.

💡 Note: Due to the natural elasticity of bamboo yarn, these measurements allow for a comfortable stretch within the given range.

4. Additional Fit Considerations

🧶 Handmade Variation – Because each piece is handcrafted, slight variations in measurements (±1-2 cm / 0.5 in) may occur.
🧶 Adjusting the Fit – Some designs may include ties or adjustable features to customize the fit.
🧶 Layering & Personal Preference – If you prefer a looser fit or plan to wear layers underneath, consider sizing up.

By following this guide, you can ensure that your yarnS studio piece fits beautifully and remains a staple in your wardrobe for years to come. 💛

Your yarnS studio piece is crafted with a luxurious blend of bamboo (60%) and Tencel (40%), known for its softness, breathability, and eco-friendly properties. To ensure longevity and maintain its beautiful drape, follow these care guidelines:

Washing

Hand wash in cold water (max 30°C) with a mild, eco-friendly detergent
Gently swirl the fabric in water - avoid excessive rubbing or stretching
Rinse thoroughly with cold water

🚫 Do not machine wash unless on a delicate cycle inside a mesh laundry bag
🚫 Avoid fabric softeners, as they can coat the fibers and reduce breathability

Drying

Press out excess water gently using a clean towel (do not wring), make sure all the water is drained, especially with multicoloured pieces as colour bleeding may occur.                                      Lay flat to dry on a towel in a shaded area, reshaping while damp
If hanging, drape over a wide hanger to prevent stretching

🚫 Do not tumble dry - heat can weaken the fibers and alter the texture
🚫 Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which may cause fading

Ironing & Storage

If needed, steam lightly to remove wrinkles - do not press directly with an iron
Store folded in a cool, dry place to prevent stretching
Keep away from rough surfaces to avoid snagging

By following these instructions, your bamboo & Tencel crochet piece will stay soft, strong, and beautiful for years to come. 💛

Production Process – yarnS studio Ready-to-Wear Collection

1. Design & Prototype Development

• Each piece in the collection starts with a carefully crafted design that reflects the modern aesthetic of yarnS studio.

• I create the initial prototype using high-quality yarns, ensuring the right texture, fit, and drape.

• The yarn used for the collection is sourced from Denmark and is Oeko-Tex certified, guaranteeing it is free from harmful substances.

• The fiber composition is 60% bamboo and 40% Tencel, offering a breathable, soft, and eco-friendly fabric with a luxurious feel.

• Adjustments are made based on wearability, stitch definition, and overall garment structure.

2. Pattern Finalization & Sample Creation

• Once the prototype is perfected, I develop a detailed crochet pattern with precise stitch counts and instructions.

• A sample piece is made following the finalized pattern to test consistency, durability, and overall look.

• The sample is reviewed, and any necessary refinements are made before moving forward with production.

3. Size Testing & Fit Adjustments

• Each design undergoes a size test for 1-2 months to ensure a perfect fit across all sizes.

• Testers wear the garments in real-life conditions to evaluate comfort, durability, and overall structure.

• The natural properties of the bamboo-Tencel blend are tested for breathability, softness, and longevity to ensure high performance in daily wear.

• Based on feedback, adjustments are made to the pattern to refine fit, ease, and proportions before mass production begins.

4. Production by Skilled Artisans

• The finalized designs are sent to BH Crafts, a Fair Trade-certified organization in Bosnia that provides sustainable employment to women artisans.

• Each piece is handcrafted by skilled women artisans, ensuring exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail.

• The artisans follow standardized patterns while maintaining the handmade essence that makes each piece unique.

• Quality control checks are performed throughout the process to ensure uniformity across sizes and colors.

5. Quality Control & Finishing

• Once the garments are completed, they undergo a final inspection for consistency in stitches, sizing, and finishing details.

• Any loose ends are woven in, and pieces are blocked (if necessary) to ensure the proper shape and drape.

• Labels, tags, and branding elements are attached according to yarnS studio standards.

6. Packaging & Shipping

• Each piece is carefully packaged to maintain its shape and quality during transit.

• Tracking information is provided, and orders are shipped following eco-conscious packaging practices.

This structured and ethical production process ensures that each piece is not only handmade with care but also crafted from high-quality, sustainable yarn, tested for fit, durability, and long-term wearability, and produced in collaboration with Fair Trade-certified artisans, meeting the high standards of the yarnS studio brand.
