Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin using the yarn, ensure you use the recommended needle or hook sizes specified on the label to achieve the intended gauge. Given its luxurious finish, it is highly recommended to hand wash your finished items in cool water and lay them flat to dry. Avoid wringing or twisting the fabric to protect the fibers' integrity and sheen. Store the yarn in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to prevent color yellowing or fiber degradation.
