Wash & Care

• Washing instructions: Hand wash cold with mild wool soap. Gently press out the water in a towel and dry flat.
• Excess dye: Since the yarn is hand-dyed in small batches, some excess dye may occur at the first wash (especially with deep purple and saturated magenta tones). Always wash dark and light colors separately.

Worth knowing about hand-dyed yarn

Sisters, not twins

This yarn is hand-dyed with passion.

The skeins in the same dye bath are like sisters – they look alike and have a lot in common, but every single skein is at the same time its own unique work of art.

That is the beauty of hand-dyed yarn.

Tip: For larger projects, it is recommended to alternate between two skeins for every other row to achieve a beautiful and even color distribution.
