Sample swatch should be washed the same as the finished product. Do not stretch the test swatch before measuring. Our experience showed vertical shrinkage only. Our test swatches became shorter but not narrower. So knitting the garment a size larger will not result in an accurate fit.
Machine dry on medium setting.
Yarn softens nicely after washing. For first washing wash separately using lots of water. For a different look try our mixes and slub cotton yarns. Mixes are created by twisting together three strands of one colour and one strand of another colour. Slub cotton is created by three strands of one colour and one strand of either bleached or natural slub yarn.
