Care
Wet-Blocking Care Instructions
Your project isn’t truly complete until it’s had its first wash! Here’s how to help our yarns reach their full potential:
- Fill a sink or basin with cold water.
- Add a small amount of no-rinse wool wash.
- Submerge your knitted item, gently squeezing out any air bubbles to ensure it stays fully underwater.
- Soak for up to 10 minutes. While our dyes are tested for colorfastness, some dyes are notoriously difficult to set and may release a small amount of excess color. Using cold water, gentle wool wash, and a short soak will help prevent color redeposit on light-colored fibers.
- Drain the water.
- Gently lift your knitted item from the water and remove excess moisture by rolling it between clean, dry towels with light pressure.
- Lay flat and shape to air dry.
For projects with contrasting colors, we recommend steam blocking to avoid any color transfer.

This as my first time knitting with Roots, but it won’t be my last! This yarn was so easy to work with, so squishy to knit. I was able to achieve a worsted gauge easily and knit The Antler Hat by Tin Can Knits! Roots shows off the cables so well. I loved the yarn and pattern so much I knit one for my husband and one for me — just in time for Hunting Season in Maine!
Store owner replied: Looks great!
This yarn is so squishy! Lovely to work with! One hank was plenty for this hat with leftover for a pompom.
Store owner replied: Looks great!
As always, love working with this wool. In progress: hat for a gift to a hunter.
Store owner replied: Looking good!
My order of Roots: Hunting Season arrived expeditiously, and packaged in way that made me feel valued as a customer. The yarn is beautiful and is knitting up very nicely into a hat I plan to use for autumn strolls in the woods. Thank you Amanda and Peggy.
Store owner replied: Thanks so much!
Made three hats — one for mom and two of her hunters-in-training. The Vermont tradition continues. They were thrilled with the hats!
Store owner replied: Those look great!
Great colour!!! Hope SIL likes the hat he’s going to get!
I had a shipping notice the same day I purchased! I am making a hunting hat for my son with the high visibility orange. The yarn has been wonderful to work with.
The color is AWAKE! See me!!
The orange did not disappoint!
Store owner replied: Great to hear!
Beautiful perfect hunters orange yarn. So excited to make a ribbed beanie for the hunter in my life
Store owner replied: Happy knitting!
Beautiful yarn; vibrant color and very soft. Made two hats and I’m sure they will keep me very warm this winter in Maine.
Store owner replied: Good to hear!
Perfect for hunting season hats.
Store owner replied: Indeed! Happy knitting!
Love their YouTube videos and prompt shipment of my order. This is my 1st order. Looking forward to another order before the end of the year.
Store owner replied: So glad you are pleased!
Amazing yarn every time!
Store owner replied: Thanks so much!
Super excited to use this yarn to make my husband a hat. I've been wanting to make him one for years but I only use yarn made of high quality, natural fibers, and he likes his hats to be hi-vis colors. It is particularly hard to find a nice wool yarn in these bright neon colors so when I saw this I had to have it! Haven't caked it or started the project yet, but I can tell by the texture that this is going to be one nice piece when finished. I bought enough to make at least 2 so he has a back-up!
Store owner replied: Yay! Happy knitting!
As always, high quality and beautiful color! This one in particular is so bright, such a perfect orange that I will be making into a beanie for Philly Flyers games 🧡
Store owner replied: Awesome!
The color is incredible so saturated
Store owner replied: Glad you like it!
Can’t wait to make a pumpkin beanie with it.
Store owner replied: That will be so cute!
I love it! I cant wait to make my very own Hunter orange hat for my hunting sits. Only wish I had purchased more 😌
Store owner replied: We will make more again next year!
Great yarn - love your millcasts!
Store owner replied: Thanks so much!
wow! the color is amazing!
Store owner replied: It sure is bright!
Such a squishy and plump yarn! This is going to make the best hats for fall hiking and camping. Shipped wicked fast. Thanks!
Beautiful yarn quick arrival to my home.
