| All Bartlett yarns are spun on the "woolen system" for a traditional homespun appearance, softer twist, and more bloom than worsted-spun yarns. The result is that the 2-ply yarns knit up to the same gauge as what is commonly called "4-ply knitting worsted. "Recommended quantities, yards, and gauges suggested for a medium size adult sweater: 2-ply: Six 4-ounce skeins (210 yards/skein, 4-1/2 st/in, #8 needle 3-ply: Nine 4-ounce skeins (145 yards/skein, 3-1/2 st/in, #10 needle Hand Wash-Use cool water only a bit warmer than body temperature; let soak for a few minutes in a detergent with a balanced pH. Do not agitate or machine wash the garment; squeeze out water ( do not wring or twist). Rinse well. Roll the garment in a towel to remove any excess water. Dry flat, away from direct heat and sunlight, turning and blocking the garment occasionally as it dries. |
