Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and use cedar or lavender sachets to protect the natural fibers from moths.
Each ball of Lil' Alpachino Merino weighs 50g.
Ensure your needles are smooth and free of burrs, and avoid excessive tension while working the stitches.
Always lay the garment flat to dry in its original shape rather than hanging it, which can cause the weight of the water to stretch the natural fibers.
To achieve the best results, ensure you use the appropriate needle or hook size recommended for DK weight yarn (typically 3.5mm to 4.5mm). Always perform a gauge swatch before starting your project to ensure your tension matches the pattern requirements. Regarding care, the natural fibers in this yarn are sensitive to heat and agitation. Always hand wash in cold water using a gentle wool-safe detergent. Never wring out the yarn; instead, press gently between towels to remove excess moisture and always lay flat on a clean surface to dry. Avoid any contact with bleach to ensure the color integrity remains intact.
