West Yorkshire Spinners ColourLab DK in Phantom Black is an ideal choice for knitters and crocheters who prioritize high-quality, 100% British wool for their garment and accessory projects. It offers the perfect balance of authentic heritage craftsmanship and modern durability, thanks to its machine-washable properties. While the yarn provides excellent stitch definition and warmth, users should ensure they are comfortable working with traditional wool fibers, which may feel slightly more structured than synthetic alternatives.

Yes, its DK weight and smooth texture make it an excellent choice for those learning to knit or crochet.
No, it is made from 100% British wool.
It is not recommended. Machine drying can cause felting and shrinkage. Always air dry flat.
Yes, Phantom Black is a deep, solid black designed for maximum saturation.
The wool is reared, sheared, and spun entirely in Britain.
Ensure you are using smooth, high-quality needles and check your tension to ensure you are catching all plies of the yarn.
Avoid wringing out the item. Gently press excess water out with a towel and always dry the garment flat on a clean surface.
This is common with natural wool. Use a fabric shaver or sweater stone to gently remove pills periodically.
To get the best results, use standard 4mm knitting needles or a 4mm crochet hook, though you may adjust based on your specific tension. Before starting large garments, always knit a tension square to ensure your gauge matches your pattern requirements. For care, this yarn is machine washable; however, it is highly recommended to use a mild wool detergent and the 'wool' or 'delicate' cycle on your machine at 40°C. Lay items flat to dry in the shade to prevent stretching, as even machine-washable wool can lose shape if hung while wet.
