Frequently Asked Questions
- How does blocking work?
Moisten your project, place it on a blocking mat, and pin it in place. Let it dry flat to set the shape.
- Do I really need wool wash?
Yes. Regular detergent can damage delicate fibers. Wool washes are pH-neutral and add conditioning properties.
- How do I remove fuzz or pills?
Use a lint remover or depilling comb to gently refresh your knits.
- What is a granny square blocker?
It allows you to block multiple squares at once for even sizing in larger projects.
- Do I need special care products for leather?
Definitely. Products like MUUD Effekt balm help preserve, protect, and nourish leather accessories.
