How many wool skeins are needed for a scarf, sweater, or blanket?
It depends on the stitch, size, and yardage of the skein. The calculation is simple: divide the total meters required by the pattern by the meters indicated on the skein's product page and round up. For large projects, buy all the skeins together from the same dye lot.
How should I store wool skeins?
Keep them in a dry place, away from direct light, and use moth-proof bags for cashmere and mohair. Wash finished garments by hand or with a wool detergent at 30 °C and dry them flat.
