FAQs
What is DK yarn?
DK stands for Double Knit, which refers to the weight of the yarn. It is thicker than fingering weight but thinner than Aran weight.
Can I use this yarn for baby projects?
Yes, this yarn can be suitable for baby projects, but always ensure the finished item is soft and comfortable against the skin. Consider the fiber content and any potential allergies.
How do I care for my finished items?
Hand wash in cool water with mild detergent, and lay flat to dry. Do not iron.
What needle size should I use?
The recommended needle size will vary based on your pattern. Always check the pattern instructions and do a gauge swatch.
What is a 'nep'?
A 'nep' is a small knot or fleck of fiber intentionally added to the yarn to create the tweed effect.
Troubleshooting

Check your tension. Use a slightly larger needle or hook size.
Color differences between skeins.
Ensure all yarn balls used come from the same dye lot, or alternate rows from different balls to blend the colors.
