Divante Jumbo Soft Touch Yarn is engineered for performance in projects where warmth, softness, and a substantial, quick-to-create fabric are paramount. Its 'jumbo' classification means it excels in rapidly producing large items such as cozy blankets, throws, and oversized scarves or cowls, often allowing you to finish a significant project in a single weekend. The 'soft touch' characteristic translates into garments that are incredibly comfortable and luxurious to wear, making it an excellent choice for chunky sweaters, cardigans, or even baby blankets that require a gentle feel. The inherent strength of its fibers ensures that these beloved handmade items will hold their shape, resisting sagging or stretching, even with regular use and gentle care. This yarn is particularly effective for techniques like arm knitting or using very large knitting needles (e.g., US size 17 / 12.75mm and up), providing a satisfyingly quick and tactile crafting experience. It's a go-to yarn for creating comforting, chunky pieces for personal wear or adding warmth and texture to your home decor.
Using Divante Jumbo Soft Touch Yarn is straightforward. Simply unroll the yarn from its skein. For optimal results, select knitting needles or crochet hooks appropriate for jumbo weight yarn.

Always consider making a small swatch to confirm your tension and fabric drape before beginning your main project. > Info needed: Specific recommended needle/hook size from manufacturer.

To ensure the longevity and beauty of your finished creations made with Divante Jumbo Soft Touch Yarn, proper care is essential. As specific care instructions are not detailed, follow these general guidelines for soft, thick yarns:
Hand Wash: Gently hand wash your item in cool water using a mild detergent specifically designed for delicate garments or wool.
Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse the item carefully under cool, running water until all soap residue is gone. Avoid harsh squeezing or twisting, which can stretch or damage the fibers.
Remove Excess Water: Gently press the item against the side of the basin or between clean towels to remove as much excess water as possible without wringing.
Lay Flat to Dry: Reshape your item to its original dimensions and lay it flat on a clean, dry towel or a mesh drying rack. Allow it to air dry completely. Avoid hanging, as the weight of the water can cause stretching and distortion.
Avoid: Do not bleach, iron, or tumble dry, as these methods can severely damage the yarn's delicate fibers and cause shrinkage or matting.
