FAQs
What is the recommended needle size for this yarn?
The recommended needle size will be indicated on the yarn label. Typically, it is around 4mm.
Can I use this yarn for projects other than baby items?
Yes, while designed for baby knits, it can be used for other projects that require a soft, DK weight yarn, such as small garments and accessories.
How do I care for items made with this yarn?
Machine wash at 40 degrees Celsius on a wool cycle and tumble dry on a low setting.
Is this yarn suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, the yarn is designed to be soft and gentle, making it suitable for baby garments and sensitive skin. Always do a small test if there are any concerns.

Troubleshooting
