1. How much yarn should I purchase for my project?
To ensure consistency in color, we recommend purchasing enough yarn at the start to complete your entire project. Later purchases may vary slightly in shade, as dye lots can differ. We recommend buying 10 balls of yarn to knit an aran sweater.

2. What is the recommended needle size for your yarn?
Our Supersoft Merino and 100% Merino Wool yarns are best paired with needle sizes ranging from 3.75mm to 4.5mm.

3. How many yards/meters are in each ball of yarn?
Each skein contains approximately 246 yards (225 meters) of yarn, perfect for a variety of knitting and crochet projects.

4. How should I care for garments made with your yarn?
To keep your finished garments looking their best, hand wash them gently with care and lay flat to dry. Avoid wringing or twisting to maintain the integrity of the fibers. Please see our care guide here
