This yarn is made from 100% British sheep fleeces; it is not recommended for those with specific wool or lanolin sensitivities.
The amount depends on your size and pattern, but DK weight sweaters typically require 6-10 balls of 50g-100g yarn depending on the specific pattern gauge.
Hand washing is strongly recommended to maintain the integrity and softness of the premium British wool blend.
DK stands for Double Knitting, which is a medium weight yarn that generally knits to a gauge of 22 stitches over 4 inches.
Yes, West Yorkshire Spinners prioritizes sourcing high-quality British fleeces, supporting local agriculture and maintaining high production standards.
Ensure you are using smooth, high-quality needles and adjust your tension if it is consistently too tight.
Use a gentle wool wash detergent and avoid scrubbing or wringing; always use cool water to prevent fiber agitation.
Always purchase enough yarn for your entire project from the same dye lot to ensure color uniformity.
For best results, use 4.0mm needles or a G/6 crochet hook, though always check your gauge before starting your project. Given the natural wool composition, it is recommended to hand wash your finished items in cool water with a mild wool-safe detergent to preserve the fibers. Always lay your garments flat to dry to prevent stretching or misshaping. Store your yarn in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and use cedar or lavender sachets to protect the natural fibers from potential pests.
