Tips for Knitting with DMC Denim
If this is your first time working with this thread, here are some tips to achieve a perfect result:
✔️ Choose the right needles: Although its DK thickness allows for needles between 4 mm and 5 mm , if you're looking for a looser, more fluid fabric, opt for larger needles. For a more compact finish, choose smaller needles.
✔️ Block your knitting: As this is a cotton yarn, it may shrink slightly after the first wash. To maintain the shape of your garment, it is recommended to block the knitting after you finish it.
✔️ Wash with care: To prolong the life of your creations, wash the garments by hand or on a delicate cycle with cold water.
