How will this yarn behave when washed and cared for?

The yarn is formulated for machine wash and tumble dry, so finished items are low-maintenance and travel-friendly. Its 100% acrylic fibre resists shrinking and preserves colour after repeated laundering, making handmade garments and home goods practical for daily use.

• Fibre: 100% acrylic for easy care and colour retention
• Care: safe to machine wash and tumble dry
• Durability: resists stretching and fading with normal care
