I’m in love with this yarn! It’s delightfully soft with a slight slubbyness and totally beautiful. White Cloud is a very apt name for this glorious yarn. It comes direct from the mill in Switzerland who I've been lucky enough to have a relationship for over 6 years now.
It is recommended that you hand wash in cool to luke-warm water with a special wool detergent. Slight bleeding may occur but should not affect the final color.
