Help! My Bohemia is shedding everywhere!

Possum is a very short fibre - about the same length as a short-haired cat.  When you are knitting/crocheting it the loose fibres will shed.  We have discovered that using metal needles seems to increase the shedding so try wooden or bamboo ones to see if that helps.  After your project is finished, block it once, then wear it over and over again!  The more you wear it, the more the fibres will settle.  If the shedding is really bothering you, just wear it around the house until it has settled.

Rebel Light has a broad gauge is it a Fingering Weight or a DK?

Rebel Light is a woolen spun fingering weight yarn. Due to its construction it can be knit at a wider variety of gauges and still produce a cohesive and durable final fabric. Please note other Fingering weight yarns should not be treated like this.
