Tips for Working with Sherpa Wool

Sherpa wool requires some adjustments compared to classic wools. Use large diameter needles (usually 8 mm to 12 mm) to highlight the yarn's texture. Simple stitches like garter stitch or stockinette are sufficient: the material does all the work. Equip yourself with our needles and hooks suitable for thick yarns.

Avoid overly complex stitches that would get lost in the fluffy texture. Favor large pieces with simple finishes. Sherpa wool can be knitted or crocheted: when crocheted, it creates ultra-cuddly amigurumis or voluminous accessories. Also, check out our crochet kits to get started.

Generously count your yardage: the fluffy texture consumes more yarn than a classic wool. Plan for 20 to 30% more skeins than the standard pattern indications. Always wash your creations on a delicate cycle at low temperature and lay them flat to dry to preserve the fluffiness.

Sherpa wool pairs perfectly with other textures to create contrasting effects. Combine it with cotton for neat edges or with shiny yarns for festive touches. Let your creativity speak with this playful and comforting material.
