🧶 Recommended Needles & Hooks (Based on Worsted/Aran Weight Knitting):
• For knitting with this yarn (creating a Worsted/Aran weight), we recommend 4.0–5.0 mm (US 6–8) needles. The general gauge is approximately 18–20 stitches per 4 inches (10 cm) in stockinette stitch. Use the smaller end of the range (4.0mm) for a denser, more structured fabric, and the larger end (5.0mm) for a softer, loftier drape.
• For crochet, use hooks in the range of 4.5–5.5 mm (7 to I-9).

📍 Please note:
Most yarn prepared on cones for machine knitting is lightly waxed to ensure smooth running. Once knit, it should be washed to reveal its true softness. This yarn is perfect for both hand and machine knitting, highly recommended for creating premium-quality knitwear.

📏 Recommended Yarn Usage:
• Women’s Sweater (M): 400–600g (4–6 balls)
• Shawl/Wrap: 200–300g (2–3 balls)
• Baby Set: 100–200g (1–2 balls)
• Hat/Scarf Set: 100–200g (1–2 balls)

🧶 Care Instructions:

📸 Please Note
• Due to its multi-colored nature, the yarn creates interesting patterns or color combinations when knitted or crocheted.
• Colors are photographed in natural lighting but may appear slightly different depending on your screen settings. I recommend zooming in on each photo to appreciate the beauty and texture of the yarn.
• Each ball is wound with care and packed securely to ensure it reaches you in perfect condition.
• Limited Edition: Available while supplies last.
