Using this Cascade 220 Superwash Wave Yarn is a breeze. You can use it with your regular knitting or crocheting tools to create various items like scarves, hats, or baby blankets. When it comes to washing, just throw it in the washing machine on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent and don't worry about high - heat settings as it can be tumble - dried on low. Avoid using bleach or harsh chemicals as they might damage the natural fiber and affect the beautiful color. If the yarn gets a bit tangled, gently unwind it by hand. This yarn is durable, but be careful not to pull it too hard while working with it to prevent breakage.
