Yarn Care

Caring for Your WGLY Yarns

Whether you’ve chosen a tonal, variegated, or limited edition skein, a little care will keep your yarns and finished projects looking their best.

Always hand wash in cool water.

• Use a gentle wool wash such as Yarn food click here  
• Avoid harsh detergents and never tumble dry — always air dry flat.

Colour Fastness

           All yarns are dyed to exhaustion to minimise bleeding.

          Very occasionally, some colours may release a little dye on the first wash (this                    depends on your water’s pH). If concerned, swatch and test wash first.

Winding

Before winding, check ties haven’t crossed when unwrapping the skein.

If you’re new to winding, this tutorial  shows how to use a swift to make a ball or cake.
