Can I use this yarn for baby clothes?

Tie a secure knot to join the yarn ends. Weave in the ends to secure them, or use a Russian join for a neater look.

Troubleshooting

Yarn is pilling after washing.

Wash on a gentler cycle and avoid overcrowding the machine. Consider using a mesh laundry bag.

Colors are bleeding during the wash.

Wash the item separately or with similar colors for the first few washes. Use a color-catcher sheet to prevent dye transfer.
