FAQ


Frequently Asked Questions

 

How accurate is your sizing?

Items are sized to specific inch measurements. If you're not sure whether the age appropriate size will fit your child's head, please take the time to measure their head circumference and order according to those measurements. Toques have a slightly slouchy beanie fit and there is stretch and a looser fit. If you are unsure, please measure. For a tighter and non-slouchy fit consider one size smaller.

 

What is the best way to wash/clean my crocheted/knitted items?

It is recommend that all of our products be spot cleaned or hand washed and lay flat to dry. If you remove the pom pom or the item does not have a pompom some non-wool pieces can be gently machine washed and dried. Maker not responsible for your washing method as this is out of my control, however I do machine wash and air dry my personal non-wool items occasionally.

How long does it take for my order to ship?

My normal ship time varies from 1- 3 days (if item is in stock) to one to two weeks unless otherwise noted in busy season.  I have more ready to ship stock available in my Etsy shop: rusticmapledesigns. Inquire for current turnaround time.

Does my shipped order include tracking?

All parcels shipped within Canada are shipped via Canada Post and come with a tracking number. You will receive this information with your shipping notification email.  Should there be a Canada Post interruption, an alternate shipping method will be picked. Orders to the United States or International do not come with a tracking number.

If something went wrong with your purchase or you are not satisfied with your order, please contact me before leaving feedback. I would love to be given a chance to make it right.

PLEASE NOTE:

All pieces are handmade so no two items are identical. Please allow for slight variances from the photos taken and the nature of the yarn. I try my best to make sure that my product is represented as accurately as possible through product descriptions and photos, but this could vary from the photos taken.

Custom and Personalized Orders

All custom orders are a final sale. No exchanges or refunds.

Are your items handmade?

Yes, all Rustic Maple pieces are hand made (hand knit or hand crocheted) in our clean and smoke free home.

Faux Fur Pompoms

All pompoms are hand cut and tied by me (unless otherwise noted) from faux fur fabric by the yard. The lux faux fur is 80% acrylic/20% polyester. The stuffing is premium Poly-fil polyester filling. My poms are knotted and bow tied in most cases and can be carefully removed at owner's risk. If poms become squished or wet from snow/rain a vigorous shake or a blow dryer on low setting for 10-20 seconds can fluff them back up.
