FAQs

What size needles should I use with SwurlyWurly DK?

How many meters are in one cake?

Each 200g cake provides 550 meters of yarn.

Can I tumble dry this yarn?

Yes, it is tumble dry safe, allowing for easy laundry routines.

Is this yarn wool or acrylic?

James C. Brett SwurlyWurly is a versatile synthetic fiber blend designed for softness, durability, and ease of care.

How do I calculate how much yarn I need?

Check your pattern's requirement for standard DK weight yarn and compare the total meterage needed against the 550m provided per cake.

Troubleshooting

Stitches look too loose or uneven

Verify your needle or hook size matches the recommended 4mm; if they remain uneven, try adjusting your grip or tension.

Color transitions do not align perfectly at seams

This is common with self-striping yarn. Consider using a seamless knitting technique in the round or manually adjusting the start of your row to shift color breaks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure optimal results, always begin by creating a tension square using 4mm needles or a 4mm hook to verify you are hitting the 22 stitches by 28 rows ratio. This yarn is designed to be low-maintenance: it can be placed in the washing machine and dried in a tumble dryer, making it ideal for everyday items. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the vibrancy of the colors over time.
