FINISHING
To block or wash your piece, prepare a bath of tepid water and if desired add a few drops of mild detergent or wool wash. Immerse the finished piece and soak for up to 10 minutes. Carefully lift the piece from the water and allow to drain. Gently remove excess water by pressing the fabric between layers of a dry towel. Lay flat to dry.
ABOUT CLECKHEATON
Cleckheaton began its Australian history in 1948, when the Cleckheaton Yorkshire mill, together with managers and mill hands, were transported 20,000 kilometres to Shepparton, Victoria. Cleckheaton has since earned the status as Australia’s premium quality hand knitting brand.
