Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best results, use standard knitting needles or crochet hooks recommended for chunky-weight yarns, typically ranging from 6mm to 8mm depending on your desired drape. Always perform a test swatch to ensure your gauge matches the pattern requirements, as chunky yarns can grow significantly with weight. Regarding care, due to the 20% wool content, it is advisable to hand wash your finished items in cool water with a mild detergent and lay them flat to dry. Avoid high-heat tumble drying to prevent shrinking or felting the wool fibers. Always check your project labels for specific batch numbers if purchasing multiple cakes, ensuring color consistency throughout your work.
