The directions in this Booklet are so written that you can knit any one of the six styles in three different Bernat yarns. Each has its particular strong points. Some like a Machine Washable 100% Blended Acrylic Fibers while others demand the richness and luxury of Pure Wool. Some prefer the lighter Sports Weight Yarns as contrasted to the Worsted Weight. See chart below.
FOR MACHINE WASHING 100% BLENDED ACRYLIC FIBERS: Use warm water (not hot!) and mild soap or detergent. (Do not use trademarked "wool wash" preparations for Blended Acrylic Fibers)! Turn the garment inside out before putting it in the machine. ALWAYS machine dry after machine washing.
