Care instructions:

  • Mild detergent.
  • Machine or handwash and lay flat to dry.
  • Do not iron.
  • Do not bleach.

From label dated Apr 2010: “Colinette’s easy care instructions are simple. This hand dyed yarn is superwash treated but needs to be treated kindly. You can machine wash but only on a COLD woollen setting, using mild woollen washing powder. To dry set the dryer to the lowest setting before drying. If you don’t have the above settings then we suggest you handwash and lay flat to dry.”

Use 2.5mm for socks, 3.25mm for garments.

Maybe you already have worked with our fun loving Jitterbug or maybe this is your chance to try a small project,
which ever way this pack of assorted shades in Jitterbug are hot to trot.
Each pack contains 250g of Jitterbug yarn in multiple shades and hank size giving you the chance to really go
wild and try out some new colours and combinations.

Please note that for obvious reasons

no two packs will be the same and we cannot take custom orders on the

pack’s contents. The length of individual threads will vary widely as will the shades offered.
