Big heavy tags sewn into the scarf are so hard to remove and often mean I pass on the scarf because I have made holes in scarves trying to remove the tags. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tags-on-scarves-1#post-2237969 Thu, 11 Nov 2021 19:26:35 +0000 Suz 2237969@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I take them off off off!!!

Delicate wash with wool wash liquid has served my scarves well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tags-on-scarves-1#post-2237836 Thu, 11 Nov 2021 02:06:22 +0000 MsMaven 2237836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I used to leave them on.

This is a great reminder. I have often experienced what you have so vividly described in your second paragraph above, Ginger. And I absolutely need to remove some tags.</p> <p>In addition, I too have the problem that rachylou mentioned (sewn in tags on pillows etc.), but perhaps this will have to be discussed in another thread? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tags-on-scarves-1#post-2237820 Wed, 10 Nov 2021 22:50:41 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 2237820@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hate scarf tags and I carefully remove them.

The discrete ones are usually left on. But actually, they sometimes fall off after some time (from the silk scarves), lol.

This is a thing. Sometimes I try, but either get left with an equally ugly litte bit of tag remaining or poke a hole or end up ruining a hem seam…</p> <p>Also: can we talk how to remove sewn in tags from pillows and sleeping bags?

I'm so glad that the consensus is to take them off if they're a problem! And just to carefully keep them if they're very important, which makes sense.</p> <p>It occurs to me that I've never actually washed a scarf, so the care instructions have been irrelevant. I am just a wee bit paranoid! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tags-on-scarves-1#post-2237668 Wed, 10 Nov 2021 15:45:21 +0000 Janet 2237668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I carefully remove them if they seem to be too obvious (yes, I relate to your second paragraph!), and for special ones like my McQueen scarves, I keep the tags in a little box in a drawer with other cut care tags from other garments that I keep in case I need to be reminded of laundering instructions or fabric content. I rarely consult those tags though — when in doubt I tend to hand/delicate wash or dry clean. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/tags-on-scarves-1#post-2237652 Wed, 10 Nov 2021 15:17:31 +0000 Anonymous 2237652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Scarf tags are so bad, aren't they?
