Check your needle or hook size

Before starting, check your pattern for the recommended needle or hook size. For a 4-inch gauge swatch, use US 10½ (6.5 mm) needles or a 6.5 mm crochet hook to ensure your project fits as intended.

Machine wash and tumble dry

When your project is complete, machine wash it on a gentle cycle with cold water. Tumble dry on low heat or lay flat to dry. This helps the fibers relax and the fabric to soften up nicely.

What crafters are saying

Hear from crafters who have used Mixed Up yarn for their projects. They share real experiences about working with it and the results they achieved.
I used six skeins of the Mixed Up yarn to crochet a lap blanket for my grandson. The color changes were unpredictable but so fun! It worked up fast on my K hook and came out soft and warm. He loves it and I've washed it a few times already with no issues.

KnittingNanaGreat for a cozy, quick blanket
I picked up a few skeins to try for some winter hats. The bulky weight means they knit up in just an evening. The yarn is a bit stiff at first but softens beautifully after a wash. The color mix gives each hat a unique look.

As a new knitter, I chose this yarn because it was forgiving and not too expensive. The stitches are easy to see and count, which helped me practice. The colors made my first scarf look more complicated than it was.
