Sheila Joyce, those symbols can be VERY confusing, can't they? I found a website that has helped me tremendously. The circle with the P means dry clean only. The square with the circle and X means do not dry clean.

Here's the link:

Thank you, Donna. No bleach, no machine wash, cool water, flat dry, dry clean with only one particular cleaning fluid.

Okay, I'm really nosy so I googled your yarn. It is super cute - your new grandson is going to look adorable.

If I am making something for someone that isn't machine washable and dryable (so, most knitted things), I like to actually make the ball band into a tag and wrap it around the item with a ribbon.

Makes me feel like I am officially off the hook for conveying care instructions (although in this case, I'd tell her the translation as well)

Congratulations on your new grandbaby, by the way.

I love it too. They had a sample sweater in the shop, and the pattern book too. I am using two colors of pom pom--blue and yellow -- and white that's plain. It is a summer/spring weight sweater.
