DanDoh Linen is 100% pure linen yarn from Japan. The clean, crisp linen fiber is spun into a unique chain ply structure. DanDoh Linen knits up into light and provides dramatic drape with a nice soft handle. Fiber: 100% linen Yardage: 50 grams / 124 yards Weight: Worsted weight Care: Hand wash cold. Lay flat to dry (see blocking tips below) Tips for DanDoh Linen Winding: All DanDoh yarn is tri-fold after it has been bi-folded (most yarn you see at yarn shops is bi-folded). Once you open up tri-fold, it is a bi-folded hank. Unfold one more time, and it will be a hank the same size as another company's yarn. The hank has two ties to hold a hank (protect it from getting tangled), and keep ties until you set up a hank to a swift. This will prevent the threads from getting tangled. After the hank is on your swift, always check carefully at the two points where the hank is tied to make sure all the strands are coming out of those points the right way. If so much as one strand does a U-turn and goes the other way, you’ll end up with a hot mess on your hands. Cut ties, and wind ball. Wet Blocking: We recommend filling a bowl/bucket with water, submerging your swatch or garment and lightly squeezing it until there are no bubbles. Do not soak. Remove swatch/garment from water and squeeze as much water out of it as you can. Stretch it, then lay flat and straighten the sides (if there are) using blocking wires. Keep the wires intact and let it dry completely. Let the swatch relax before measuring. Needles: If you feel the yarn is slippery to handle, try using wooden or bamboo needles. Join new balls: Using the Russian Join or the Magic Knot method.
