Product Information

Full details

The Peter Pan DK Whisper (PD12) by James C. Brett is a versatile, high-quality yarn designed for crafters who prioritize both softness and durability in their knitted garments. Composed of a balanced blend of 55% polyamide and 45% acrylic, it offers a consistent texture that is ideal for creating baby clothes, light sweaters, and delicate accessories. While its lightweight nature makes it excellent for intricate stitching, users should note that the 50g ball size requires careful planning for larger projects to ensure sufficient yardage.

Troubleshooting

The fabric tension feels too loose or too tight.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting your project, ensure you conduct a tension swatch to verify your gauge matches the recommended 22 stitches by 28 rows to avoid size discrepancies. When switching balls, use standard secure joining techniques to maintain consistency in your fabric. For care, garments made with this yarn should be machine washed on a gentle cycle at 30C. They are safe to tumble dry on low settings and can be pressed with a cool iron if needed. Always store your remaining yarn in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the color vibrancy.
