Hand wash and dry flat. Although I have taken care for colours not to run as these yarns are hand dyed it is best to wash them separately from other lighter colours.
Please be aware that different batches of this yarn may be slightly different. Some bases take the dye slightly differently to others, the images shown are merino and nylon.
