This is a knitting yarn suitable for Double Knitting Patterns. The yarn is on a 50g ball, which gives approx 113m/124yd. We would recommend a needle size of 4.0mm-UK size 6. We would recommend Hand washing to maintain the beauty of your finished garment. If you have this facility on your washing machine, this can also be used if you pop your item inside a pillowcase to maintain the shape.
