FAQs

What size needles/hook should I use?

The recommended needle size is 4.5mm. Adjust hook size based on your pattern.

Can I use this yarn for baby items?

Yes, but always check the baby's sensitivity to wool. The yarn’s durability makes it suitable for baby items, but ensure gentle washing.

How much yarn do I need for a sweater?

The amount will vary depending on the size and pattern. Each ball is 100g and contains 185m of yarn. Calculate based on your pattern's requirements.

Is this yarn suitable for beginners?

Yes, it is a good choice for beginners due to its easy handling and clear stitch definition.

What should I do if the color runs during washing?

Wash the item separately the first time to prevent color transfer. If color runs, rinse immediately in cold water.

Can I felt this yarn?

This yarn is not specifically designed for felting, due to the blend of fibers. It may felt slightly, but results will vary.

Troubleshooting

Ensure your needles/hook are the correct size for the yarn weight. Avoid pulling the yarn too tightly.
