Troubleshooting
Yarn splits while working

Project feels too stiff
Check your tension; synthetic fibers have less 'give' than wool, so try moving up one needle size to achieve a better drape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using your Wendy Supreme DK, ensure you have the recommended needle or hook size, typically 4mm (US 6). Because it is a synthetic yarn, it is compatible with most standard knitting and crochet patterns labeled for DK weight. For care, it is machine washable, though it is recommended to wash in cool water on a gentle cycle to preserve the finish. Lay flat to dry to maintain the integrity of the stitches and prevent stretching. Keep the yarn away from direct high heat sources, such as irons or space heaters, as the synthetic fibers can melt or warp if exposed to extreme temperatures.
