Tips for the Linen yarn
-
Blocking:
We recommend filling a bowl/bucket with water, submerging your swatch or garment and lightly squeezing it until there are no bubbles. Do not soak. Remove swatch/garment from water and squeeze as much water out of it as you can. (I roll in a towel to remove water). Stretch it aggressively, then lay flat and straighten the sides (if there are) using blocking wires. Keep the wires intact and let it dry completely.
-
Needles:
If you feel the yarn is slippery to handle, try using wooden or bamboo needles.

Join new balls:
Using the Russian Join or the Magic Knot method.
