Using this Jamieson's of Shetland Marl Chunky Yarn is easy. Just pick up your knitting needles or crochet hook and start your project. For knitting, a larger needle size like US 10 - 11 will work well to show off the chunky nature of the yarn. For crocheting, use a hook around US J - K. When working, take your time to enjoy the soft feel of the wool. After you finish your project, like a cowl or cardigan, it's best to hand - wash it in cool water with a gentle wool detergent. Lay it flat to dry to keep its shape. Avoid wringing or twisting the wool as it can damage the fibers. Store your finished item in a cool, dry place away from moths, perhaps with some natural moth repellents like lavender sachets.
