FAQs

What is included in the Ricorumi DK Christmas Crib Kit?

The kit includes 20 balls of yarn: 14 balls of Ricorumi DK, 3 balls of Ricorumi Twinkly Twinkly DK, and 1 ball of Ricorumi Lame.

Do I need to purchase a pattern separately?

Yes, the kit includes the yarn only. You will need to purchase the Ricorumi DK Christmas Crib Book, which contains the patterns for the nativity figures.

What tools do I need to create the figures?

You will need crochet hooks or knitting needles, stuffing, safety eyes, and any other accessories specified in the patterns.

What is the yarn made of?

The yarn is made of 100% cotton.

Can children play with the finished figures?

The finished figures can be played with, but ensure that any small parts like safety eyes are securely attached to avoid any safety hazards. Supervise young children.

How do I care for the finished figures?

Hand wash with mild soap and lukewarm water. Air dry the figures to maintain their shape.

Is this kit suitable for beginners?

The kit is suitable for crafters with some experience, as it requires knowledge of crochet or knitting techniques. Beginners may find it challenging.

Troubleshooting

Yarn is tangling or knotting during use.

Ensure that the yarn ball is placed in a way that allows it to unwind freely. If the yarn has become tangled, carefully untangle it, working slowly and methodically. Consider using a yarn winder to keep the yarn organized.

Finished figures are losing their shape after washing.

Make sure you hand wash gently with mild soap. Avoid wringing or twisting the figures. Reshape the figures while they are still wet, and allow them to air dry on a flat surface.
