Crafted for those who admire the stars and moon, ORION yarn takes its inspiration from the gentle tones of the Orion Nebula within the constellation it’s named after. This ample skein of extrafine merino wool feels as light as a drifting cloud and works up swiftly on 6-7 mm needles, reminiscent of a shooting star streaking across the night sky. Be sure to make a wish as you create.

Care Instructions
- Hand wash in tepid water using a mild soap.
- Do not agitate or twist.
- Shape and dry on a flat towel.
- For machine washing, we recommend that all wool garments be washed separately on a wool program, to ensure the gentlest treatment. Due to the unique absorbency of the merino wool, it is important to centrifuge hand-knitted garments well before drying them flat on a towel.
- Never use a laundry bag when washing hand-knitted wool garments. This creates friction that can cause the garment to felt.
