Fiber Content: 100% Tanguis Cotton Weight: Sport Gauge: 22 to 26sts = 4 inches on US 2-4 / 2.75-3.5 mm needles Weight/ Yardage: 50g/125 meters/137 yards Country of Origin: Peru Hand washing is recommended. Wash in cool water with wool specific soap and dry flat. For machine washing, we recommend that all wool garments be washed separately on a wool program, to ensure the gentlest treatment. Centrifuge well and dry the garment flat, preferably on top of a towel. Never use a laundry bag when washing hand-knitted wool garments. This creates friction that can cause the garment to felt.
