Dyeing Tips
Prepare your skeins with a detergent such as Synthrapol. Also explore our selection of dyes (Jacquard, Ashford, Greener Shades). On a zebra non-superwash base, limit agitation and temperature shock to prevent felting. Lighter shades appear heathered, while deeper colors gain richness. Test a small sample if you need a precise tone.
Care Instructions
- Washing: hand wash in cold or lukewarm water with a mild wool detergent.
- Drying: lay flat to dry, away from direct sunlight.
- Ironing: not recommended.
