Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin your project, ensure you are using a 4 mm knitting needle or crochet hook for best results. Given the 80-meter length per 50-gram skein, it is recommended to purchase extra yarn if you are planning larger items like full-sized blankets to account for potential dye-lot variances. For care, machine wash the finished piece at a maximum of 40 °C. Avoid high-heat drying to ensure the acrylic fibers retain their original shape and soft hand-feel over time.
