Use mild detergent suitable for delicate fabrics

Lay flat to dry on a horizontal surface

Do not wring, twist, or tumble dry

Do not iron directly on sequins

Steam carefully at low temperature if necessary

Working with Sequined Yarn

Sequins may need to be pushed along the strand while knitting or crocheting. Work at a relaxed tension to accommodate the sequins. Consider using needles one size larger than recommended for smoother knitting. Sequins will naturally settle on the fabric surface, creating sparkle and texture.

Color may appear different due to screen and lighting. Yarn is not eligible for return or exchange.
