Yarn on cones:
This yarn is spun on a cone and it's a good idea to keep it on a yarn holder when knitting to prevent it from rolling around. For best results, soak the finished knitted garment in lukewarm water for about 2 hours to allow the yarn to open up and become even more soft and lovely.

NOTE: The yarn is spun from a single thread and has have a tendency to twist a bit, and therefore we do not recommend that you use this yarn for stockinette knitting in the round. The yarn does not twist if you knit stockinette back and forth.
