While it features soft Bluefaced Leicester, it is a wool blend. If you have extreme wool sensitivities, test a small swatch against your skin first.
This yarn is designed to work best with 4mm knitting needles or crochet hooks.
As a natural wool blend, it has the potential to felt if exposed to hot water and agitation, so follow care labels strictly.
It is produced in the UK using a blend of quality British fleeces.
Store in a cool, dry place in an airtight bag with a natural moth deterrent like cedar or lavender.
Ensure you are using the correct needle size and check that your needle tips are not excessively blunt.
Check your tension and ensure you are not 'over-stretching' the fabric during the blocking process.
To ensure the best results, always perform a tension swatch before starting your project to verify your gauge matches the pattern requirements. Morris DK is compatible with standard 4mm knitting needles or crochet hooks.
Care instructions are vital for this yarn. Because it is a natural wool blend, do not machine wash or tumble dry. Hand-wash your finished items in cool water with a mild wool detergent, gently squeeze out excess moisture in a towel, and lay flat to dry away from direct heat or sunlight to prevent stretching or felting.
