FAQs

Is this yarn hypoallergenic?
As a 100% premium acrylic, it is generally suitable for people who are allergic to natural wool fibers.
Does the color bleed in the wash?
Wendy Supreme DK is designed for color stability, but always wash with like colors for the first wash to be safe.

Troubleshooting

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin your project, ensure your tension matches the 22 stitches by 30 rows gauge using 4mm needles or a 4mm crochet hook. For larger projects, it is recommended to work from the same dye lot to ensure color consistency across the entire piece. When caring for finished items, machine wash them in a gentle cycle with similar colors. Always air dry flat to preserve the elasticity of the acrylic fibers and avoid excessive heat, which can soften the synthetic strands beyond their intended texture.
