Please remember that the size of the blanket will also depend on a chosen pattern and knitting style. Don't tighten the yarn too much while knitting it will only harden the blanket and make it much smaller. Your blanket will be nice and soft in touch if you knit your stitches loosely. Don't be afraid to use your arms - arm knitting is FUN :)!
If you want to make a blanket in different size then those stated above and need some help calculating how much chunky yarn you should purchase, please contact us - we don't bite and we'll be happy to help :)!
We always try to send wool in one piece but please keep in mind that because of the production limitations our yarn skeins can't be larger than 4,5-5 kg (10-11 lbs). If you order the amount over 5 kg (11 lbs) you will receive the yarn in two (or more, depending on the amount ordered) pieces that needs to be joined by you.
WASHING & CARE
Please unravel the yarn very gently. Unlike the regular thin yarn - when working with chunky merino wool it's crucial to unravel all the yarn before you start knitting because if you pull it while it's on the skein or yarn ball - it might fall apart.
Remember to dry clean only. Please use professional dry-cleaner.
Merino Wool is a very soft and delicate material. Please note that like with every wool the slight shedding of fibers is normal and not indicative of any defect. It will last long with proper care and the shedding will decrease over time.
We strongly recommend to use our products as a cover only (like a blanket or a throw).
Please keep in mind that the color depends on your screen settings and the lighting. We are always happy to help you choosing the best color option for you :)
Thank you for shopping in our store :)
