Calliope yarn is a pure cotton that is easy to care for. Wash your jumper by hand or in the washing machine on the colour cycle. The water temperature should be <40°C. Use little detergent. If you are washing by hand, do not rub the knitwear, but press the detergent into the fibre using successive strokes.
Rinse with clean water, without using fabric softener. Squeeze without wringing or at a speed <900 rpm. Do not use bleach.
Dry flat in a well-ventilated area.
Iron under steam in the 2 point position, using a pattemouille.
