FAQs

Is this yarn suitable for sensitive skin?

It contains 20% wool, which may be irritating to those with high wool sensitivity, though the 80% acrylic blend keeps it relatively soft.

What is the recommended needle size?

The manufacturer recommends using 4mm needles.

Can this yarn be tumble dried?

While it is machine washable, we recommend air drying flat to maintain the shape and longevity of your projects.

How much yarn is in one ball?

Each 100g ball contains approximately 345 meters of yarn.

Does the color repeat consistently?

Aurora DK is a variegated yarn, meaning the color transitions are designed to be dynamic and unique rather than perfectly repetitive.

Troubleshooting

Yarn splitting while knitting or crocheting

Ensure you are using smooth needles or hooks and check that your needle size is appropriate for your tension.

Finished project does not match gauge

Adjust your needle or hook size up or down until you reach the target tension of 22 stitches per 10cm.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Machine washable for convenient care
Soft texture suitable for wearable accessories
High yardage per ball provides excellent value
Beautiful color transitions reduce the need for complex colorwork

Cons

Not suitable for those with high sensitivity to wool content
Variegated patterns may look different depending on project width
Requires careful tension management to ensure consistent color flow

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin your project, ensure you use 4mm needles or a 4mm crochet hook to achieve the manufacturer's suggested gauge. Always start with a swatch to ensure your personal tension matches the 22-stitch requirement for your pattern.

Care: Machine wash your finished items on a gentle cycle to preserve the fiber integrity.
Storage: Store your unused yarn in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading.
Compatibility: This yarn works well with standard DK-weight patterns, but always verify your gauge before starting a complex garment.
