Can I machine wash this yarn?

Spot clean immediately with cold water and a mild detergent, then allow it to air dry flat.

Troubleshooting

Yarn is splitting while knitting or crocheting

Ensure you are using the correct size needle or hook and check for any rough spots on your tools that may be snagging the cotton.

Finished garment feels too heavy

Verify your gauge; if your tension is too tight, it can result in a denser, heavier fabric. Try going up one needle or hook size to increase the drape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin using your yarn, remove the outer label and pull from the center of the ball to prevent tangling during the casting-on process. This yarn is compatible with a wide range of standard knitting and crochet patterns; however, always check your tension gauge before starting a large project to ensure your finished item will meet the desired size.

Care Instructions:

  • Washing: Hand wash only in cold water.
  • Drying: Lay flat to air dry; do not tumble dry as this can compromise the fiber quality.
  • Maintenance: Do not use bleach, as it will damage the cotton fibers and affect the color vibrancy.
