Listing details to confirm

The listing gives machine-wash-and-dry-flat care in its details, while feature text specifies machine washing at 40 °C / 104 °F and laying flat to dry. The six-pack total, 300 g, and 852 yards align with the stated per-skein amounts, but the model is also used as a UPC and part number, so confirm the intended identifier if needed.
