Tricycle is a thoughtfully designed yarn base created especially for baby and children’s knits. Soft to the touch yet durable enough for everyday wear, it’s gentle against sensitive skin while standing up to active little lives. Made from superwash wool, Tricycle is an easy-care yarn, making it a great choice for handmade items for children as well as adults.

Its smooth construction creates even stitches and comfortable fabric, ideal for sweaters, cardigans, blankets, hats, and all the pieces that get the most use. Tricycle combines comfort, resilience, and practicality—everything you want in a yarn made for growing kids.

Commercially dyed yarn is dyed in large vats, usually made into large hanks of 1 kilo or more. The yarn is dyed to an extremely precise, all over colour using gradually rising heat. You can generally expect commercially dyed yarn to be very even and dye baths to be exact.

Commercially dyed yarn is wonderful for projects where you want a consistent, all over colour, or even colourwork pieces like fair isle or stranded knitting.

• We recommend that items made from 100% Superwash Wool be washed by hand in cold or lukewarm water with a gentle rinse-free detergent. Never wring or twist woollen pieces when washing.
• Gently squeeze as much water as possible, roll in a towel and press moisture out. Then lay your finished piece flat to dry.

Wool does not need to be washed after every wear as it is a natural, breathable product. When you can see (or, rarely, smell) that a woollen item is in need of washing, follow the above instructions

You may ask why we suggest hand washing superwash knits. While you should be able to wash superwash knits in a more conventional way, we believe that superwash wool benefits from gentle care, as it will extend the life of your precious hand knit items!
