Yarn Care and Information:

All yarns are dyed with professional acid dyes for wash fast results.  We rinse all of our yarn until the water runs clear, however as with any hand dyed yarn it is a good idea to hand wash items separately the first time just to be safe. 

All skeins of the same colorway are dyed together, but because they are dyed by hand no two skeins are exactly alike.  Hand dyed yarn can vary between dye lots so please order enough to complete your project at one time.  In addition, we recommend alternating skeins every two rows to minimize variations.

Some skeins are re-skeined before selling.  This is a process where the yarn is wound into a new skein in order to distribute the colors.

We do our best to accurately photograph all colors however there are variations between monitors and devices.

Don't see the colorway/base combination you were looking for?  I’m always happy to discuss custom orders! For custom orders contact me and we can go from there! 

Where is your yarn sourced from?
All of our base yarns are ethically sourced from several different mills that are all based in North America.  ALL of our yarns are of the highest quality – we only dye yarns that we would want to crochet with ourselves!
