Frequently asked questions
For a soft and gentle finish, opt for a super bulky yarn. Look for yarns labelled with a "6" on the standard yarn weight system.
This will depend on the pattern, yarn weight and crochet hook size. On average, you will need 300 to 600 yards of yarn.
Typically, patterns will specify the hook size. For bulky yarn, a larger hook (8mm or L-11) is recommended. For lighter yarns, a smaller hook (4mm to 5mm or G-6 to H-8) is better.
Yes, but check the yarn label first. Use a gentle cycle and air dry to maintain the shape and softness.
