Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your projects remain in top condition, proper preparation and care are essential. Before starting, always check your pattern's recommended needle or hook size, which is typically in the 4mm range for DK weight yarns.
Compatibility:
- Needle Size: Generally 4.0mm (US 6).
- Hook Size: Generally 4.0mm (G/6).
- Gauge: Standard DK gauge approximately 22 stitches and 28 rows per 10cm.
Care Instructions:
- Washing: Hand wash or use a gentle wool cycle in a machine if permitted by your specific garment construction. Always use a detergent formulated for wool.
- Drying: Lay flat to dry on a clean towel. Never wring or twist the damp garment as this can distort the fibers.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fiber degradation and fading.
