Mrs Moon's Learn to Crochet Kit has everything you need to start from the absolute basics through to your first cushion. Follow the step by step guide and learn everything you need to start crocheting including the foundation chain, doubles, trebles, joining new colours and reading basic charts. The Kit Contains: Beginner's Guide to Crochet Cushion pattern Clover Soft Touch hook 4 skeins of Plump DK and some practise yarn to use before you get started on the cushion. Yarn Content: 80% ethically sourced superfine merino and 20% baby alpaca Care: Mrs Moon yarn is made from the highest quality superfine merino and baby alpaca. These really are special and luxurious fibres and should be treated carefully! Having said that both yarns are suitable for delicate hand washing. Use a specialist detergent and do not agitate or twist the fibres to retain the gorgeous softness and shape of your garment. Shedding: Because of the roving nature of Mrs Moon yarns (they are single ply, rather than tightly twisted), some shedding may occur. The best way to deal with this is spray your finished garment with water and leave to dry flat, naturally before the first wearing. This sets the fibres and should stop any problems. Using your yarn: This yarn comes in skeins, so before using it you need to wind the skein into a ball, or you will get into an awful tangled mess! Ethical Provenance of Mrs Moon Yarns: The tops are from non mulesed Merino sheep from ethical farms, all the wool is shorn and not a bi product of the animal skin industry as the sheep are kept for wool production alone. The alpaca is also shorn, the animals being kept for fibre production only.
