It is, however, a little more fragile than other yarns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo prevent breakage, handle the yarn gently, adjust tension and hand-wind the yarn from plates into loose balls prior to knitting. If the yarn breaks, felt the yarn in your hands by overlapping the two ends and rubbing them together with a little bit of water. Avoid wringing or twisting the fabric when washing (soak in lukewarm water and lay flat to dry.)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you would like to use the same yarn, please check current availability before purchasing the pattern.
