Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this yarn suitable for baby clothes?

While the yarn is high-quality, the inclusion of Masham wool provides a rustic texture that may be too coarse for sensitive infant skin.

What is the fiber content of this yarn?

It is a blend of Bluefaced Leicester, Bluefaced Kerry Hill, and Masham wools.

Can I machine wash Morris DK items?

No, it is recommended to hand-wash only to prevent the natural fibers from felting.

What needle size is recommended?

Standard 4.0mm needles or a 4.0mm crochet hook are generally recommended for this DK weight yarn.

Is the colorway Pomegranate true to the photos?

The Pomegranate shade is designed to capture authentic Victorian-era hues, though screen resolution can affect how the color appears on your device.

Troubleshooting

Yarn splitting during knitting

Ensure you are using smooth, high-quality needles and check your tension; the natural fiber blend requires a steady, consistent hold.

Garment feels slightly itchy

Wash the finished project with a dedicated wool conditioner or hair conditioner to soften the natural fibers.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality blend of three distinct British sheep breeds
  • Rich, saturated color ideal for autumn and winter palettes
  • Excellent stitch definition for complex cables or textures
  • Sustainably sourced British wool

Cons

  • Not suitable for those with extreme wool sensitivities
  • Requires hand washing to prevent felting
  • May require color swatching to ensure consistent tension across the blend

Setup, Compatibility & Care

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.
