Setup, Compatibility & Care
This yarn requires 6mm needles or a corresponding crochet hook. Ensure that the needle size matches the gauge specified in your chosen pattern. To care for projects made with this yarn, follow the care instructions on the ball band. Generally, it's best to hand wash items in cool water and lay them flat to dry to maintain the yarn's appearance and prevent shrinkage. Always test a small swatch before washing a completed project to ensure the colours do not bleed. Avoid harsh detergents and direct sunlight during drying.
