Needlepoint - Cleaning framed needlepoint

Expert: Henry Babcock - 4/18/2008

Question
I framed a needlepoint I made many years ago and would love to freshen it up. Wool was used.
Thanks for your help!

Answer
Jayne,

For a situation such as yours, there are some great instructions at the American Needlepoint Guild's website:

http://needlepoint.org/FAQ/stitching.php#Q17

The information ranges from simple dust removal, all the way up to washing and reblocking the piece.

Hope this helps and feel free to come back with any other questions you have.

Thanks for your inquiry,

Henry Babcock
