Using Jamieson's of Shetland Marl Chunky Yarn is a breeze. For knitting, you can use large - sized needles to create chunky stitches quickly. For crocheting, a thick hook will work great. When starting your project, make sure to wind the yarn into a ball for easier handling. As you work, keep in mind that this yarn has a beautiful heathered look, so try to maintain an even tension to show off the color depth. After finishing your project, hand - wash it in cool water with a mild wool detergent. Gently squeeze out the water and lay it flat to dry to prevent stretching. Avoid hanging it, as the weight of the wet yarn can distort the shape. Store your yarn in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to keep its color and texture in top condition.
