Frequently Asked Questions
Of course I cannot guarantee that you won't find an errant dog hair or two in your yarn, however I keep my yarn stocks well up from the ground so Elvis is unable to get into it.
The below instructions are very important for my non-superwash hand spun yarns as they are more delicate than commercial, superwash yarns. Most of my yarns are superwash yarn, but you will get better longevity of vibrancy from your hand dyed yarn if you follow these instructions:
Hand wash your hand dyed yarn items in cold water and a gentle wool wash with no agitation past a gentle swirl. Rinse if required and squeeze (don't wring!) out the water. You may then roll your item in a towel and step on it to get any excess water out before lying flat to dry in the shade.
That being said, I routinely machine wash my (superwash only!) hand dyed yarn items in a delicates bag on a cold, delicate cycle, with a gentle wool wash and low spin (800 rpm or less). BUT bear in mind that you may get more wear and tear on your items this way and even though my yarns are colourfast, the colour may not stay as vibrant.
Our yarns are skeined and twisted with the utmost care. I am not responsible, nor do I offer replacements or refunds for any snags or tangles that may occur in the caking or balling process.
If you do not have access to a swift and ball winder, I will happily cake your yarn before shipment. Just let me know by adding a note your order.
