Who Knew?! Care Symbols on Yarn Labels

The other day a great customer friend came in looking for yarn for a baby blanket. (One of our favorite things!) Once she chose her colors, she said I like to provide moms with information on how to take care of the blanket. Can I wash it? What about drying? We checked out the labels and, although it was the same yarn, the skeins had different care symbols from each other. Okay! We're savvy women! We looked it up! Seems that one label said not to put the project in the dryer and the other said you could throw it in the dryer. Ok! We're savvy women! We called the yarn company. Seems the newer labels for this yarn indicate that projects  can be placed in a dryer at a lower setting. Then we got curious! What DO all those little symbols mean?? Here's a handy guide from the Craft Yarn Council that tells all. We found it especially enlightening to see all the washing symbols together - and they make total sense now! With holiday fibering upon us, it's nice to know what those symbols mean and what to share with gift recipients. 

Looking forward to seeing you in the shop soon!

Well, I have to admit that I am not good at symbolism. There are public signs that I am not familiar of, and I don't get if my understanding is too low or the signs were just too complicated to be understood. Whatever rewound may it be, I need to level up so I can be aware of the things that I see around me. I am happy to know that you are very particular with these symbols. Some things are never verbally written so you need to have a wide understanding about it. Perhaps, I need to go back to school and study once again!
