Our yarns are machine-washable on a cool, delicate cycle, however hand-washing in cold water with a small amount of wool wash is highly recommended. Lay flat to dry, never use a dryer. Washing your gauge swatch is advised, especially if using contrasted, dark, or saturated colors. Bleeding If you are experiencing bleeding/rubbing off/staining issues, there are a few ways to solve this depending on how far along in the project you are. Our yarns are dyed in small batches, so there likely will be some dye lot variance. We will not be able to track dye lots for you.
