Yes, Bluefaced Kerry Hill wool is known for being much softer and less itchy than traditional coarse wools.
Because it is 100% wool, it has the potential to felt if agitated in warm water, so avoid hot washing.
West Yorkshire Spinners supports the mental health charity Mind through the sale of the Retreat range, contributing to their advocacy and support services.
The yarn is high-quality, but always wash with similar colors to prevent any potential dye transfer, especially during the first wash.
Please refer to the specific ball band for exact yardage, as it can vary by batch.
Ensure you are using the correct needle size (6.5mm) and check for any rough edges on your needle tips.
Use a fabric shaver or sweater comb gently to remove surface fuzz, and avoid excessive friction during wear.
To achieve the best results, use 6.5mm knitting needles or equivalent sized crochet hooks. Before starting a large project, always knit a tension square to ensure your gauge matches the pattern requirements. For care, this yarn is not machine-washable due to its natural wool content. Hand wash your finished items in cool water with a mild wool detergent, and lay them flat to dry away from direct sunlight to preserve the color and fiber integrity.
