FAQs

Is this yarn safe for newborns?

Yes, the Bo Peep range is specifically designed to be soft, comfortable, and gentle against sensitive baby skin.

Can I tumble dry garments made with this yarn?

While the yarn is machine washable at 40°C, it is recommended to dry flat to ensure the garment retains its shape.

What does the Apple color look like?

The Apple shade is a soft, nature-inspired green that provides a delicate, classic look for baby apparel.

Does this yarn contain wool?

Yes, it features a blend of the finest Falkland Island Wool and nylon.

Is this yarn suitable for crochet?

Absolutely, the DK weight and fiber composition work excellently for crochet blankets, toys, and garments.

Troubleshooting

Yarn splitting during knitting

Ensure you are using smooth, high-quality needles and check your tension; if splitting persists, try a slightly larger needle size.

Garment feels scratchy

Ensure you have not used a detergent with harsh chemicals; a gentle wool-specific wash can help soften the fibers after the initial knit.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptionally soft texture suitable for infant skin
  • Durable enough for daily wear and tear
  • Convenient machine washability at 40°C
  • High-quality fiber blend from Falkland Island wool

Cons

  • Specific to DK weight patterns

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best results, use 4.0mm needles or a 4.0mm crochet hook as the baseline for this DK yarn. Always create a tension square before starting your project to ensure your stitches align with your pattern’s specific requirements. When it comes to care, wash the finished garment in a 40°C cycle, preferably inside a mesh laundry bag to prevent snagging on other items. Avoid using heavy bleaches or fabric softeners that could degrade the integrity of the natural wool fibers over time.
