A Note from Yarn Loop-The designer over estimated yardage to guarantee that the project can be finished.  Yarn Loop has made one sweater size M in house and used approximately 750 yds MC & 340 yds CC.  Please leave 1 skein of each color in original packaging just in case you have a full skein leftover and would like to participate in the Buy-Back Program.

Please wash Rios colors separately before starting your sweater to remove extra dye.  Soak skeins in warm water with wool wash for 20 minutes, rinse and repeat without agitating the yarn until water is clear.  Gently roll in a towel to remove most of the water and hang to dry.  Do not ball until all yarn is dry!
