Wool and the Gang The One Wool is a versatile, chunky-weight yarn designed for both knitting beginners and experienced crafters who want a reliable, soft staple for their stash. Its 100% wool composition and classic twist structure provide excellent stitch definition, making it ideal for everything from intricate textured patterns to classic stocking stitch garments; however, users should be prepared for a strictly hand-wash-only maintenance routine.

No, this yarn is strictly hand wash only. Machine washing will likely cause the fibers to felt or shrink.
The suggested needle size is 7mm for optimal tension and drape.
Each ball weighs 100g and contains approximately 100 meters of yarn.
It is made of 100% wool, which offers great warmth, but individuals with wool sensitivities should consider wearing a layer underneath.
Knit a test swatch of 12.5 stitches by 17 rows to ensure it matches the 10cm x 10cm tension requirement.
It is recommended to use only delicates hand wash detergent to preserve the integrity of the natural fibers.
Ensure you are using the correct 7mm needle size and check that your needle tips are not snagging the individual plies of the 3-ply twist.
Ensure the item is dried completely flat. Hanging wet wool garments will cause the fibers to sag and permanently distort the shape.
To begin your project, ensure you are using 7mm knitting needles to achieve the recommended tension of 12.5 stitches over 10cm. Because this is 100% natural wool, it is sensitive to heat and agitation. To wash your finished items, fill a basin with cold or lukewarm water (never exceeding 30 degrees Celsius) and use a specialized delicates detergent. Submerge the garment, gently squeeze to distribute the soap, and let it soak for a few minutes. Never wring or twist the wet wool. Instead, place the item flat on a clean, dry towel, roll the towel up to absorb excess moisture, and finally lay the piece completely flat on a drying rack to prevent stretching.
