Troubleshooting

Garment losing shape after washing

Always lay the garment flat to dry rather than hanging it, which can cause the weight of the water to stretch the cotton fibers.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptionally soft texture for a comfortable feel against the skin
  • Highly breathable for summer-appropriate knitwear
  • Beautiful luster that enhances the vibrancy of colors
  • Sustainably sourced from high-quality Peruvian cotton
  • Suitable for both knitting and crocheting

  • Requires careful gauge management to achieve specific project sizing

  • Limited to specific types of warm-weather projects

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To prepare your yarn, ensure you wind the skein into a loose ball to avoid tangles. This cotton works well with standard medium-sized needles or hooks, but always refer to your specific pattern's gauge recommendation. For care, wash your finished items in cool water and lay them flat to dry. Avoid using harsh chemicals or high-heat tumble drying, as this can dull the luster and potentially shrink the fibers. Store your yarn in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the richness of the shade.
