FAQ

Our skeins are shipped using minimal packaging. A small, card label is used to wrap the skeins to identify the base/colorway, and shipping envelopes are plastic, to protect the contents in transit. All card and paper in our shipments are fully recyclable, and plastic shipping bags can now be recycled at most recycling centers. Orders may also ship using an organza bag to keep your order together. This can be reused for a number of purposes.

A 'yarn base' is the type of fiber, weight, and ply (e.g. Merino, DK, 4 ply) independent of any color.

Yes, I custom dye for specific yarn colorways and also do custom orders for larger quantities of a specific colorway. Custom orders are a minimum order of 4 skeins.

Yes. All our yarns are hand-dyed. While every effort is made to make the skeins as uniform as possible, there will always be some slight variation. For this reason, we strongly recommend that if you have a project that needs multiple skeins, that you purchase enough to complete the project on the same order, since they will be dyed at the same time.

Yes. The natural fibres we use are environmentally friendly, renewable, carbon neutral and biodegradable. Fibres are sourced from South America from a non-profit that aims to employ, train, and equip women from rural communities in Uruguay *in* their areas so they aren't forced to work away from their families to gain an income. The wool is mulesing free.
