Henry Tank Top
This cute little tank top will suit any baby or toddler, keeping them stylish and super cosy. It’s a very simple knit with just a few rows of colourwork for some interest. You can of course just miss out the colourwork if you prefer. There are 4 rows in the chart where you are using 3 colours at a time. Be careful not to get in too much of a tangle with the yarns! It can be a very slow process untangling them!
The left shoulder has two buttons to make the neck opening wide enough to get over the head easily. You can of course, opt for poppers instead of buttons, in which case just ignore the buttonholes but do the rest the same.

Washing
Plump Superchunky and Plump DK are made from the highest quality superfine merino and baby alpaca. These really are special and luxurious fibres and should be treated carefully! Having said that both yarns are suitable for delicate hand washing. Use a specialist detergent and do not agitate or twist the fibres to retain the gorgeous softness and shape of your garment.
Shedding
Because of the roving nature of our yarns (they are single ply, rather than tightly twisted), some shedding may occur. The best way to deal with this is spray your finished garment with water and leave to dry flat, naturally before the first wearing. This sets the fibres and should stop any problems.

Using your yarn
All our yarn comes in skeins. Before using you need to wind the skein into a ball or you will get into an awful tangled mess! If you are not sure how to do this you can watch our video here!
