Build a care label in seconds: enter your fibre composition and pick how the garment should be washed, bleached, dried, ironed and dry-cleaned. You get standard care wording plus a plain-language guide to every symbol — a drafting aid to confirm against wash-testing, not a substitute for it.

⚠️ Drafting aid, not a compliance check. This tool formats the fibre content and care choices you enter into standard wording — it does not verify them. Confirm the care advice against a wash test on your actual yarn before printing, and confirm fibre content with your yarn supplier. To print the official symbols, add a licensed ISO 3758 / GINETEX care-symbol font or artwork to your label file; the US (FTC Care Labeling Rule) accepts clear written instructions.
List fibres in descending order of weight, adding up to 100% — e.g. "70% Merino Wool, 30% Cashmere". The builder sorts and totals for you and warns if it isn't 100%.
Wash, bleach, dry, iron, then dry-clean — the order retailers and customers expect. The generated text already follows it.
Knitwear is unforgiving: the wrong wash advice felts or shrinks it. Confirm the wording against a test on your real yarn, not a guess.
The US accepts written care; the EU and many markets expect GINETEX/ISO symbols. Drop in a licensed symbol font once the wording is right.

The international order is washing, bleaching, drying, ironing, then professional textile (dry) cleaning — five symbols read left to right, mirrored by the written instructions. This builder outputs the wording in that ISO 3758 / GINETEX order, so your label reads the way retailers and customers expect.
It depends on the market. The US (FTC Care Labeling Rule) accepts clear written instructions in English; the EU and many other markets expect the ISO 3758 / GINETEX symbols. This tool gives you the correct wording plus a plain-language guide to each symbol — to print the symbols themselves you add a licensed GINETEX care-symbol font or artwork to your label file.
Most wool, merino and cashmere knits are safest hand washed cold or on a wool/gentle 30°C cycle, not bleached, dried flat (never tumble dried, which felts and shrinks them) and cool ironed. Always confirm against a wash test on your actual yarn before printing — finishing, blends and dye can change what a garment tolerates.
Yes — fibre content is a legal requirement in most markets (FTC in the US, the textile labelling regulation in the EU) and must match the garment, listed in descending order of weight and adding up to 100%. Enter the real composition from your yarn supplier; this tool only formats what you give it and does not verify it.
