How do I care for my Lion Brand yarn?

Caring for Lion Brand yarn depends largely on the specific type of yarn you are using, as different fibers require different care methods. Generally, it is important to read the care label attached to your yarn skein, as it provides the best guidance tailored to that particular product. Most Lion Brand yarns are machine washable, but some may require hand washing or specific temperature settings. For machine washable yarns, it is typically advisable to use a gentle cycle with cold water to avoid any risks of felting or shrinking. It is often suggested to use a mild detergent. If hand washing is recommended, this can be done in lukewarm water with mild soap, followed by gentle rinsing. When drying yarn or finished projects, air drying is usually best to maintain the shape and texture. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent color fading. Additionally, storing your yarn in a cool, dry place away from direct light can help prevent damage over time.
