CARE OF AUSTRALIAN MERINO WOOLPlease do not wash merino wool projects. You can hand wash using lukewarm water and a very mild soap or Wool specific detergents. Otherwise, we strongly recommend you dry clean anything you have purchased or made with our yarn. Also, be aware that some shedding and pilling is normal at first and should significantly decrease over time. Just pull them gently side to side and they will come off. This is a natural part of the wool fibers grabbing onto each other. Part of the reason that wool can be used unspun is because the fibers cling together naturally. So, part of the joy of having the fluffy springiness is having some rebel strands that won't stay with the pack. Remember, Yarn is sheep's wool and actually behaves a lot like a sweater. If you find you have an exceptionally fluffy blanket, you can help tame the frizz by laying it out flat and picking off any big or well formed pills. Then lightly (seriously - lightly) spritz water over it. Take a piece of plastic wrap and gently rub it along the blanket, going with the fibers. once the water mist isn't visible, let it sit and dry for a little while. Then you can do the same on the reverse.

HOW MUCH YARN DO I NEED?Estimating a Project - Large Knit Merino Wool Blankets / Throws Stitch size - For the Super Chunky Merino Throw Yarn stitches are about 3 inches long and 1.75 - 2 inches wide. This should be used to determine how many stitches wide your project should be. For example, if you want a throw / blanket that is 40 inches by 60 inches, we recommend 18 - 22 stitches as the number of stitches you cast on, or start with. For that same blanket, you would have approximately 20 rows. Factors that affect the number of stitches and rows; - tight stitches or loose - arm vs needle knitting Both of which require consitantcy in the knitting process and measurement checking Common Super Chunky Merino Wool Throw Projects and Yarn Weights Please know that the larger the project is, the more room there is for variation. The wool itself does knit slightly differently based on the dye that was used, so for some colors you may need more yarn to get a tight knit and still achieve the size you want. As with regular yarn, different dye lots may have different shading, so it is best to buy all that you think you will need for a project. General Calculations: 1 sq.ft - 5.7 to 7.3 oz ( 160 to 200g) One Loop Infinity Scarf, 3 stitches wide - 250g or 0.5 - 0.75lbs Straight Scarf, 6 feet - 500g or 1lb Pet Beds - 1 to 2kg or 2 to 4lbs based on size Baby Blanket, 29x35 - 1.5kg or 3lb Lap Throw, 35x50 - 2.5 to 3kg or 5 - 6lbs Large Throw, 40x60 - 3.5 to 4.5kg or 7-9lbs Twin Bed Cover, 45x80 - 5.5 to 7kg or 11-14lbs Full Bed Cover, 70x83 - 7.5 to 8.5kg or 15-17lbs Queen Bed Cover, 76x88 - 8 to 10.5kg or 19 - 21lbs King Bed Cover, 90x88 - 11 to 12.5kg or 22 - 25 lbs
