No, it is not recommended for machine washing. Simply wipe it clean with a damp cloth.
While it is easy to work with, its stiffness makes it slightly different from standard yarn. Beginners should practice with a simple single crochet stitch first.
It is relatively colorfast for summer use, but like all natural materials, avoid prolonged direct sun exposure to prevent long-term fading.
Each standard ball contains 100g of yarn.
While it is primarily marketed for crochet due to the way it holds structure, it can be knitted, though it will result in a very stiff fabric.
Try using a slightly larger crochet hook size to create a looser, more comfortable tension.
Practice maintaining a consistent tension throughout your row; because the yarn doesn't stretch like elastic wool, manual tension control is key.
Pull from the center of the ball to ensure a smooth flow and prevent the strand from knotting.
To get the best results, ensure you use the appropriate crochet hook size recommended for your specific project tension. Because the yarn is made from wood fiber, it is prone to untwisting if the hook is too small.
