Frequently Asked Questions

 

Are Sweatertoys ok for babies?

Sweatertoys have plastic shank and washer safety eyes, which snap in place. But just to be safe, Sweatertoys are not recommended for children under 3.

Are Sweatertoys washable?

Sweatertoys are handmade and delicate. They prefer to be spot cleaned with soap and warm water and a damp cloth. Machine dry on low.

What are Sweatertoys stuffed with?

Sweatertoys are stuffed with high-quality 100% polyester fiberfill. These keeps them fluffy and cuddly! They can be stuffed with 100% cotton or bamboo fiber at a slightly higher cost.

What kinds of animals are available?

The list of animals is always growing! For now, Sweatertoy animals include:

bunnies • crows • deer • ducks • elephants • hippos • owls • penguins • pigs • rhinos • seals • sharks • skunks • squid • squirrels • tapirs • turkeys • turtles • whales

Where do the sweaters come from?

The sweaters come to me through donations from friends, family, and customers. I also purchase sweaters from thrift stores. The sweaters are pre-washed before they become animals.

Do Sweatertoys lose their shape?

Stuffing can sometimes shift in your Sweatertoy, causing your animal to appear off-balance. This is normal, as Sweatertoys are hand-stuffed, not machine-stuffed! Simply massage the animal to redistribute the stuffing.
