Machine wash on a gentle cycle and dry flat. Do not iron.

This depends on the size of the blanket, but you'll likely need multiple balls. Estimate based on your pattern and the yarn's 100-meter/109-yard length.

Is this yarn suitable for beginners?

Yes, it is an excellent choice for beginners due to the yarn's thickness, which makes it easier to see the stitches.

What is the yarn made of?

It is made of 100% Polyester.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty with tension.

Use larger needles or adjust your stitch pattern to accommodate the thick yarn.

Project too small.

Ensure you've cast on the correct number of stitches based on the pattern and your gauge.

Use needles with a blunt tip or slightly larger needles to avoid splitting the yarn.
