FAQs

Is this yarn machine washable?

No, Lil' Crazy Sexy Wool must be hand washed in cold or lukewarm water to prevent shrinking or felting.

What is the recommended needle size?

The recommended needle size is 8mm (US 11) to achieve the ideal tension.

How much yarn is in one ball?

Each 100g ball contains 80 meters of yarn.

Is this material itchy?

It is made from high-quality, soft Peruvian wool, which is generally comfortable for most people, though individual sensitivity can vary.

Can I use this for crochet as well as knitting?

Yes, the chunky texture is well-suited for both knitting and crochet projects.

Does the fiber break down over time?

As a natural, biodegradable fiber, it is durable if cared for properly, though it will naturally degrade much longer-term compared to synthetic fibers.

Troubleshooting

Project feels too loose or holes are appearing

Your needle size may be too large for your natural tension; try dropping down one needle size.

Yarn is pilling after use

Pilling is natural for high-quality wool fibers; use a fabric shaver or sweater comb to gently remove pills.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sustainably sourced, natural biodegradable fiber
  • Fast project completion due to chunky texture
  • Soft, breathable, and comfortable for winter wear
  • Provides great stitch definition
  • Natural elasticity ensures well-fitting finished items

Cons

  • Requires hand washing only
  • Limited yardage per ball (80m) may require multiple units for large projects
  • Wool fiber may not be suitable for those with extreme wool sensitivities

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin your project, ensure you are using 8mm (US 11) needles to achieve the recommended gauge. Always knit a test swatch first to see how your personal tension affects the fabric density.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Hand wash only using cool or lukewarm water.
  • Detergent: Use a mild, wool-specific delicate detergent.
  • Drying: Never wring the wool. Gently press out excess water and lay the garment flat on a towel in its original shape to air dry.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the vibrant color.
