How To Clean A Needlepoint Wall Hanging
Using the antique needlepoint wall hanging below as a demonstration, the video will show you How To Clean A Needlepoint Wall Hanging….using some basic techniques you can use continue to use for the care of your woven treasures.
Always Remember:
Most needlepoint weaves, especially older ones are made of natural fibers-wool, cotton, jute, linen-these natural fibers are more prone to shrinkage and dye bleeding. Always test the fibers prior to wetting the entire piece. If you see signs of shrinkage or dye bleeding I suggest you contact a professional who has experience cleaning delicate, older weaves.

I live in Walpole MA and just inherited my Mother’s needlepoint wall hanging that is about 50+ years old. It needs to be cleaned and I am so reluctant to do it myself even after watching Mr. Mavillio’s video. Would you be willing to do the cleaning. Happy to drive to your site for drop off and pick up. Please let me know if possible or, if you know of a cleaning service closer to the Walpole area that has experience in cleaning needlepoint art.
Thank you for your attention.
