Product Information
Full details
Wendy Supreme DK is a versatile, high-quality premium acrylic yarn ideal for both beginner and experienced knitters and crocheters looking for a reliable, soft, and durable material for everyday garments and accessories. While it offers excellent yardage and a smooth, consistent stitch quality, its premium acrylic composition means it will not provide the same heat-retaining properties as natural wool fibers.

FAQs
Is Wendy Supreme DK suitable for baby clothes?
Yes, its soft texture and machine-washable properties make it an excellent and practical choice for baby garments and blankets.
Can I use a larger hook than 4mm?
You can use a larger hook for a looser, lacy effect, though it will change the drape and gauge of your final project.
Does this yarn pill easily?
The premium acrylic used is designed to be highly resistant to pilling, keeping your finished items looking new for longer.
What is the weight category of this yarn?
Wendy Supreme DK is classified as a Double Knitting (DK) weight yarn.
How many balls do I need for a sweater?
Yardage requirements vary by size and pattern; however, with 295 meters per ball, a standard adult sweater typically requires 5 to 7 balls.
Troubleshooting
Yarn is splitting while knitting
Ensure you are using the correct size needle and check that your needle tips are not damaged or overly sharp for the ply count.
Finished garment feels too stiff
Check your tension; you may be knitting too tightly. Try moving up one needle size to achieve a softer fabric drape.
Stitches look uneven
Wash and block your finished project. Acrylic yarn often settles into a more uniform appearance after a gentle wash and proper shaping.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin working with this yarn, ensure your tension matches the recommended 22 stitches and 30 rows over a 10cm square using 4mm needles or a 4mm crochet hook. If you are substituting this yarn for a pattern that calls for a different brand, always perform a small test swatch to verify your gauge. For care, items made with Wendy Supreme DK can be machine washed; however, it is best practice to place garments in a laundry mesh bag to prevent snags. Always lay items flat to dry to maintain their original dimensions, and avoid using high-heat settings on irons, as extreme temperature can damage the acrylic fibers.
