A Note About Hand-Dyed Yarn
It's the nature of hand-dyed yarn to have variations from one skein to the next even within the same dye lot. Each yarn base takes dye differently and may look slightly different from one another. Great care is taken to be as consistent as possible. It is recommended to get all the yarn you need for your project and to alternate skeins to avoid striping.
Special care is taken to accurately portray colors in our product images. However, screen displays and variations in the dyeing process can result in colors not always matching perfectly between the product images and the skeins you receive.
Care Instructions
The following fiber content options are machine washable and dryable*:
- 100% Superwash Merino
- Superwash Merino / Nylon blends
The following fiber content options are hand-wash, dry flat only:
- Silk blends
- Cashmere blends
- Alpaca blends
*Even though superwash wool is machine washable and dryable, we still recommend hand-washing and air drying to extend the life of your handmade projects. Use a wool wash for gentle cleaning. You may also need to use a fabric shaver to remove any pilling.
