FAQs

Is this yarn suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes, it is 100% natural Peruvian wool, which is generally soft, though personal sensitivity to wool can vary.

What size needles should I use?

We recommend using needles or hooks between 10mm and 25mm depending on your desired tension.

Can I machine wash this yarn?

No, it is recommended to hand-wash only to maintain the quality and shape of the fibers.

How much yarn is in one ball?

Each ball weighs 200g and provides approximately 80 meters of yarn.

Is the wool biodegradable?

Yes, because it is made from 100% natural, renewable Peruvian wool.

Troubleshooting

Yarn shedding or pilling

This is common with high-quality natural wool; use a wool comb or fabric shaver gently to remove surface fuzz.

Project feels too stiff

Your needle or hook size may be too small; switch to a larger size to increase the drape of the fabric.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely fast to knit or crochet
  • Soft, breathable, and natural material
  • Excellent for beginners learning stitch definition
  • Sustainable and biodegradable fiber source

Cons

  • May be heavy for larger garment designs
  • Thick texture requires specific needles or hooks
  • Sensitive to high-heat washing conditions

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting your project, perform a tension swatch to ensure your gauge matches your pattern. Due to the natural fiber content, this yarn should be hand-washed in cool water with a gentle wool detergent. Lay the finished item flat to dry in the shade to prevent the weight of the water from stretching the fibers or causing the garment to lose its shape. Avoid using a tumble dryer or harsh chemicals as these can damage the integrity of the natural Peruvian wool.
