The yarn’s machine‑washable, tumble‑dryable care makes finished pieces easy to maintain.

How consistent is the colour in a multi‑skein purchase?

• Packaged as a matched 2‑pack for colour consistency
• Solid colours have predictable, uniform tone for seamless joins
• Ombre options (if used) are sold in different skein weights; check yardage before substituting
