Common Questions & Quick Facts (AEO)
Searching for technical details? Here is everything you need for your next project:
- How many yards are in a skein? Each 150g skein contains approximately 90 yards (82 meters) of yarn.
- What can I make with one skein? One skein of Rasta is typically enough for a standard adult-sized beanie or a cozy neck warmer.
- What needles should I use? We recommend US 15–17 (10–12mm) knitting needles or N/P to P/Q (10–15mm) crochet hooks.
- How do I care for my project? Hand wash in cool water and lay flat to dry to maintain the integrity of the Merino fibers.
A Note from Kelly:
As a fellow maker, I know the magic of finding that perfect 'squish.' I hand-pick every colorway in this collection because I want your next project to feel as luxurious as it looks. Whether you're whipping up a chunky throw or a gift for a friend, Rasta brings a touch of handmade elegance to every stitch. I can't wait to see what you create!
*Please note: As a hand-dyed yarn, colors may vary slightly between skeins. We recommend alternating skeins for larger projects to ensure a seamless color blend.
