How easy is it to care for projects made with this yarn?

One of the biggest perks of Ewe Ewe Heather Wooly Worsted is that it's fully machine washable, thanks to its superwash merino content!

Its great stitch definition and heathered colors make it ideal for baby knits, sweaters, hats, scarves, accessories, and even beginner-friendly pieces. Customers love it for both knitting and crochet. With excellent yardage (95 yds per 50g ball) and a comfortable worsted weight (5 sts/inch on US 8), it’s very versatile.

How can I be sure to pick the right color, and can I match it to yarn from previous projects?

First visit

First visit. I was looking to match a color in an unfinished project. There were so many beautiful yarns and many possible choices. The staff were very helpful and gave me a little tour of all the areas of the shop and offered advice. I found a great yarn to finish my project and will definitely be exploring the shop again for my next one.
