How do I wash items made with this yarn?

What is the fiber content of this yarn?

The yarn is made of 70% acrylic and 30% nylon.

How much yarn is in each ball?

Each 100g ball contains 322m (362 yards) of yarn.

Will the flower pattern be the same in every project?

The pattern appearance can vary slightly depending on your tension and the chosen stitch pattern.

Troubleshooting

Yarn appears to be knotting or tangling excessively.

Check the yarn for factory knots and carefully unwind the yarn, ensuring smooth flow from the ball. Adjust your tension if needed.

The flower pattern isn't appearing as expected.

Ensure your tension is consistent. Tighter tension may make the flowers appear more compact, while looser tension can cause them to spread out. Experiment with a small swatch to find the tension that best suits your desired look.
