Knitter Rating Beginner Suitable for a beginner knitter, familiar with reading a pattern and abbreviations, able to cast on, knit, purl and cast off. Able to work very basic shaping. Intermediate Suitable for a knitter with experience in increasing, decreasing, shaping and basic texture patterns. Advanced Suitable for a knitter with experience in intarsia, fairisle, cables, complicated texture or lace patterns and shaping.
Caring for your garment HAND WASHING For best results, gently hand wash knitted items in lukewarm water, using a wool detergent. Rinse thoroughly in lukewarm water. Rinse again in cold water.
DRYING To remove excess moisture after washing, roll garment inside a large towel and gently squeeze. Alternatively, spin dry inside a pillow case. Never tumble dry. Place on a flat surface in the shade to dry, coaxing back into shape whilst damp. Drying flat is recommended. Do not dry directly in front of an open or artificial fire.
DRY CLEANING Generally is not recommended as residual dry cleaning chemicals tend to harden hand knitted fabric.
