Care instructions: Hand-wash in cool water and lay flat to dry

A little colour run may occur due to the hand-dyed process; for this reason we highly recommend using a colour catcher for the first few washes.

Care instructions are also on the label that accompanies your McIntosh Yarn to sew onto the finished item.

A note on colour: as yarn colours vary in different lighting conditions and electronic screens vary too, there may be a slight variation in the product colour. As all of our yarn is hand-dyed each batch is as unique as you are.
