No, this yarn should be hand washed to prevent felting and shrinkage.
The standard recommended size is 4mm (US 6), but you can adjust based on your specific pattern gauge.
The fibers are sourced from British farms, supporting local agriculture.
Due to the high quality of dyes used, color bleeding is minimal, but it is always recommended to wash separately for the first time.
This is normal for high-quality natural wools; blocking the finished garment will help settle the fibers.
Ensure you are using wooden or bamboo needles to provide extra grip on the wool fibers while knitting.
To ensure the best results, always perform a swatch test before starting your main project to confirm gauge and desired tension. This yarn is compatible with most standard DK patterns. For care, it is essential to hand wash your finished items in cool water using a mild wool detergent. Avoid agitation, which can lead to felting, and always dry the garment flat on a towel away from direct sunlight to preserve the depth of the dye.
