YOUR ORDER
When your order ships you’ll receive a notification that your order is on its way, with a tracking number. Skeins may vary from dye batch to dye batch, as is typical with handmade goods. We do our best to have a consistent dye lot when ordering more than one skein at a time.

YARN CARE
We use professional-grade acid dyes in a pet-free, smoke-free studio. We recommend hand washing and laying flat to dry. While super wash yarn can be machine washed and dried, your creation will last longer with gentle care.

FAQ:
Will my yarn bleed?
Maybe! We rinse dyed yarn until the water runs clear in cold water. Sometimes warm water or well water will interact with the dye differently. We recommend washing your swatch how you will be washing your finished object to see if there will be any bleeding. If there is, rinse until water is clear. We do our best to knock all the excess dye off.
