How close are different dye batches? 

Each dye recipe is written down and recorded to capture: the dye used to the hundredth of a gram, milliliters of water and acid, and dye placement. However, since these are small batch, hand painted yarns, conditions are not always identical. Therefore, different dye batches are prone to have variations. I try my best to ensure consistent colors across dye batches, but yarn is finicky sometimes and doesn’t want to behave. However, if larger quantities are needed, such as sweater quantities, these are always dyed together. With any hand dyed yarn, it is recommended to alternate skeins within a project to prevent color pooling. 

How fast will my order ship? 

Ready to ship items are processed in 2-5 days from time of ordering (Excluding Federal Holidays)
Pre-Order items are made in order of purchaser and will ship as items are finished. Depending upon the volume of orders for a pre-order, processing time can vary. 

Do you do custom orders? 

Custom orders are currently not available.

Do we accept returns?

We currently do not accept returns. However, if you are unhappy with your order, please visit the contact page and we can discuss the available options.

 

How should I wash my finished objects?

I always suggest washing finished objects in cold water with your choice of wool wash and lying flat to dry. Even though all of my bases are Superwash or Superwash blends, washing machines can be brutal on hand knit items. Additionally, if dark colors (especially purples and reds) are running during washing, add a small amount of white vinegar to the soaking bath, or use a color catcher sheet. Dye bonds to the yarn in acidic conditions and most tap water is on the basic side of the PH scale, causing the dye to run from the yarn. The small addition of white vinegar balances out the PH of the water and prevents the colors from running.
