King Cole Merino Blend 4 Ply 500g Cone - White

Yes, the King Cole Merino Blend 4 Ply is made from 100% pure new superwash wool, making it exceptionally soft and gentle, ideal for sensitive baby skin.

Yes, items made with this yarn are machine washable on a wool or delicate cycle at 30°C due to the superwash treatment.

4 Ply refers to the yarn's weight, indicating it is a fine yarn, typically composed of four fine strands twisted together. It's suitable for lighter garments and intricate patterns.

Each cone contains 500g of yarn, which provides a substantial amount for larger projects and offers better value compared to smaller balls.

The superwash treatment is designed to preserve the yarn's natural softness while making it machine washable. It may slightly reduce the wool's natural elasticity but generally maintains a soft feel.

This yarn is excellent for garments worn next to the skin, such as sweaters, cardigans, scarves, shawls, and baby clothes. It's also great for detailed stitch work.

Store finished items folded flat in a cool, dry place. Avoid hanging garments for long periods, as this can cause them to stretch out of shape.

Ensure you are winding the yarn smoothly into a ball. If using directly from the cone, try to keep it from rolling away and creating slack. A yarn bowl can help manage the cone.

Ensure you are using the correct washing cycle (wool/delicate) and temperature. Reshape the garment carefully while damp and always lay it flat to dry. Avoid wringing or twisting.

Some pilling is natural with softer wool fibers. You can gently remove pills with a fabric shaver or by hand. Proper washing and handling can minimize this.

While superwash yarns are designed to be colorfast, it's always recommended to wash dark or vibrant colors separately for the first wash, just in case. Use a wool-specific detergent.
