As these yarns are made from 50% wool, we recommend to hand wash your repaired garments carefully in cool water to avoid shrinking the repaired area.

If you would like to match your darning yarn to your garment, we can offer a colour suggestion if the garment is something that we currently stock. Please just pop us an email. If you would like to match your yarn to a SISKIN garment, we have already created a list for you here:
