While the yarn is high-quality, the inclusion of Masham wool provides a rustic texture that may be too coarse for sensitive infant skin.
It is a blend of Bluefaced Leicester, Bluefaced Kerry Hill, and Masham wools.
No, it is recommended to hand-wash only to prevent the natural fibers from felting.
Standard 4.0mm needles or a 4.0mm crochet hook are generally recommended for this DK weight yarn.
The Pomegranate shade is designed to capture authentic Victorian-era hues, though screen resolution can affect how the color appears on your device.
Ensure you are using smooth, high-quality needles and check your tension; the natural fiber blend requires a steady, consistent hold.
Wash the finished project with a dedicated wool conditioner or hair conditioner to soften the natural fibers.
To ensure the best results, always knit a tension square using 4.0mm needles or a 4.0mm crochet hook to match the standard DK weight gauge. Because this is a high-quality natural wool blend, it should be hand-washed in cool water using a gentle wool detergent. Lay garments flat to dry in the shade, away from direct heat sources. Avoid wringing or twisting the fabric while wet, as this can distort the fibers and lead to stretching.
