Wonderful everyday yarn
Önling No 12 is our everyday yarn, but that doesn't mean we've skimped on comfort. Once you've washed your finished knitwear for the first time, the yarn opens up and becomes even softer and more lovely to wear. We especially recommend No 12 for summer and children's knitwear and it's a great alternative to pure wool if you are after a less warm result.
Unwashed yarn on cones:
This yarn is spun on a cone and it is an advantage to use a yarn holder when knitting to prevent it from rolling around.
The yarn has not been pre-washed when you get it and it is recommended that you soak your finished knitted garment in lukewarm water for 10-12 hours for the yarn to open up and become even more soft, delicious and uniform.

Wool can last for years, but it requires good care. Washing is tough on your woolen garments and in general wool needs to be washed much less than other materials as it has a self-cleaning effect. Often it is enough to hang your woolen sweater / garment outside in the humid weather or bring it with you into the bathroom, when you take a long, hot shower - the steam will often be enough to freshen it up it and remove any unwanted odors.
Specifically for knitwear knitted in Önling's Everyday Kit
Neither Önling No 12 nor No 13, is pre-washed when you receive it on cones. You get the best result if you soak your finished knitted garment in lukewarm water for approx. 2 hours. Then wash the garment as you would otherwise with washing detergent for wool, either by hand or on a wool program in your washing machine. Dry it by laying it flat.
Specifically for knitwear knitted in Önling's Silk kit
As the Silk Kit from Önling contains 3 different qualities (linen, wool and silk), we recommend that you always wash your silk sweater / garment by hand, to avoid it changing shape or appearance during wash. The three qualities will react differently to water, temperatures, etc. Önling can not take responsibility for the result if you wash your silk sweater in the washing machine. Your garment made from the silk kit should NOT be spun or tumble dried. Instead, dry it by laying it flat.
