How to use Creative Sport Print DK yarn

Creative Sport Print DK is a pleasure to work with for both knitting and crochet. Its balanced twist ensures the strand stays intact, delivering a clean, well-defined fabric.

Tips for use:

▷ Use 4.5–5.5 mm needles for well-structured, light and drapey fabrics
▷ With a 4.5–5.5 mm crochet hook, you’ll get a flexible fabric with a striking marled effect
▷ Always make a tension swatch if your project requires accurate measurements
▷ Wash on a delicate cycle (max. 30 °C) or hand wash, and always dry flat to preserve shape
▷ Do not tumble dry or apply direct heat with an iron

Expert tip: If you want a denser fabric (e.g. for baskets or structured cushions), go down half a hook/needle size. For more drape and lightness, stick to the recommended measurements.
