Check Your Gauge First

Before starting your full project, knit or crochet a small square using the suggested needle or hook size. Check if it matches the gauge on the label (14 sts x 20 rows = 4 inches for knitting).

Wind into a Center-Pull Cake

Wind your skein into a center-pull ball or cake before you begin. This helps the yarn flow more smoothly from the outside without the skein rolling away, making for a more relaxed crafting session.

Hand Wash and Lay Flat to Dry

Hand wash your finished item in cool water with a mild soap. Gently squeeze out excess water without wringing, then lay it flat on a clean towel to dry, reshaping it as needed to preserve its texture.
