How do I store the yarn?
Store the yarn in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Troubleshooting
Yarn is tangling while knitting/crocheting.
Ensure the yarn ball is placed in a way that allows the yarn to unwind smoothly. Check for knots in the yarn and gently untangle them.
Finished garment feels rough after washing.
Make sure you're using a wool-specific detergent and the correct wash cycle. Avoid hot water and tumble drying.
