Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best results, use 5mm (US size 7) knitting needles. Before starting a full-sized garment, it is recommended to knit a tension square to ensure your gauge matches the pattern requirements. When washing finished items, use a gentle machine cycle or hand wash in cool water with a mild detergent. Lay the garment flat to dry to maintain the integrity of the fibers and prevent stretching. Avoid using bleach or high-heat ironing, as this can damage the acrylic strands.
