I dye to order and will start immediately but need a few days to complete the work (so that it dries properly for you).
This yarn is hand-dyed, every skein is slightly unique, but I endeavor to make them match as closely as possible if you have a large order. Skeins from different batches may vary, so if you are buying yarn for a large project, please make sure to buy enough at once so that the colorway matches as closely as possible.
I also aim to make these colors reflect the manuscript images as closely as possible, but remember that these colorways are inspired by our historical figures, not exact duplicates. Every computer screen/cellphone might show the image and yarn colors slightly different, but I make the colorways as vibrant as possible.
Please note, that non-Superwash yarn bases might soften the colors of your chosen colorway.
Your yarn will be shipped in skeins, but if you would prefer it wound into a ball of yarn, I can do that for you. Just leave a note at the checkout.
My dyeing process includes food-grade citric acid that seals in the color and gives a vibrant permanent colorway. It's harmless and has no chemical smell. I also wash your yarn and try to ensure there will be no bleeding but in some cases there may be some very faint/minor bleeding at first wash. It's also always recommended to handwash wool that isn't superwash in cool to very slightly lukewarm water, nothing hot.
Smells/Odours: your yarn shouldn't have a smell to it but if it does when you open the bag, that's just the smell of wool. It's not a chemical unless the sparkle wool has been treated with vinegar (but it shouldn't have a smell to it, don't worry!).
