An Introduction To Our Bases
At Hue Loco, the majority of our business is conducted online, allowing us to dedicate more time and effort to our dye studio so we can always be bringing you our best. While this online system works wonderfully for us, we understand that in the tactile world of yarn, the feel of the product is paramount. We want our customers to be confident when purchasing our fiber online, and to achieve that, we're bringing you dedicated pages for each one our bases.
We'll be expanding on upon our Base Info page in this space and provide detailed information about the fiber content, how the base feels and behaves, its best qualities, recommended projects and techniques, and more!
Here are some useful basics to get you started:
- The Merino used in our yarns is sourced from mulesing-free farms
- With the exception of our Mohair and Suri bases, all our bases are superwash. This means they have been treated to be machine washable without the risk of felting.
Here is how we recommend taking care of your Hue Loco knits:
- We always recommend hand washing your hand-knit items whenever possible.
- If machine washing is necessary, place your items in a mesh wash bag to prevent stretching and always use a delicate setting with cold water.
- After washing, lay your items flat to air dry, ensuring they retain their shape and quality.
