DK Merino yarn Non Superwash Treated Drops DAISY Double Knitting Crochet Wool

Description: DROPS DaisyEveryday softness in pure merino wool Product information: DROPS Daisy is a soft, non superwash treated yarn, spun from 100% extra fine merino wool. The wool fibers used in this yarn are untreated, which means that they are only washed and not exposed to any chemical treatment prior to the dyeing. This enhances the wool's natural qualities, allowing the fibers to breathe better and providing better shape stability and texture quality. Made from 4 strands spun together, which give the yarn extra elasticity, DROPS Daisy results in nicely defined stitches, being especially suitable for cable, structure and moss patterns. It is a great fit for patterns designed in double knitting DK thickness (Yarn Group B).This yarn’s special construction also makes it extra important to treat the garment right: make sure that you knit with the correct tension - so use a tight tension rather than a loose one and follow the care instructions. As in all our merino yarns, the merino wool for DROPS Daisy originates from free-range, mulesing-free animals from South America.

Class II means the yarn is suitable to come in direct contact with the skin to a large extent, such as blouses, shirts, mattresses, etc. DROPS Daisy is a non-superwash treated yarn, which means it should be washed by hand. That being said, there are a few more important guidelines when it comes to caring for this yarn: Follow the washing instructions provided on the yarn label and in the shade card for the yarn.Wash merino wool by hand in 30ºC.If necessary, use a gentle centrifugation program that DOES NOT take in water.Wash separately, using lots of water.Use a small amount of wool detergent (without enzymes and optical brighteners).NEVER use fabric softener (the wool fibers become too soft and can slide apart).NEVER leave to soak!NEVER leave garments wet in the washing machine for a long period of time!NEVER hang to dry, instead dry the garments shaped on a flat surface. ABOUT US: It all started with the memory of the sweaters my grandma made for me when I was a child. They are not just sweaters, they are her loving touch in every stitch. One day I picked up a pair of knitting needles and a ball of yarn and everything fell into place. Love is an action, love is patience and I’m at my happiest when I have a new project in mind. When I see the spark in my mother’s eyes when she strokes the blanket I made for her or the excitement on my son's face when he wakes up to a new hat and scarf set and the pride when he shows them off to everyone saying “mummy made them for me!”.. this makes my enjoyment in creating and making even more meaningful. My passion for creating led to my passion in yarn, and I want to share that with you. It brings me joy knowing that I have inspired the creations that will be enjoyed by you and your loved ones for a long time. I brought together a thoughtfully selected collection of natural fibre yarn. Every single one was tested over and over to earn its place in my store. You will only find the best yarn here, that’s a promise. I’m blessed to be surrounded by this wonderful maker community. I am amazed and awed by your creations and your support has allowed me to be a present mother in my young son's life. For that I am eternally grateful. Love, Dan xx
