FAQ-
About the yarn/ How do I care for my yarn?
The yarn is dyed in my home- smoke free, pet friendly but my pets do not go in the dye or drying areas. I use an unscented wool wash before drying my yarns. Your yarns may have a slightly sulfuric or vinegar smell right out of the sealed packaging, but this smell goes away very quickly, usually as soon as the package is opened. This is normal for yarns dyed with acid dyes. Isn't it weird, though lol
I recommend storing your yarn somewhere airtight while not in use regularly (I put mine in recycled plastic totes) to keep fuzz, dust, or critters out.
Washing- I always recommend handwashing using a mild wash, like wool wash (I love Tuft Woolens), in cold water. Squeeze excess water out gently and lay flat to dry.
A small amount of bleeding may occur in the first few washes. Please understand I care deeply to give you yarns that bring you only happiness, and I've been personally affected by a red yarn that was not set properly and ruined a colorwork sweater...I cried, really. Deep colors are exhausted until that water is absolutely clear, and all of my yarns are washed in an unscented wool wash after dyeing. I check for quality and bleeding here, in this extra step. Sometimes even with proper setting and rinsing, different water and its PH, different wool washes, or chemicals can lead to a small amount of bleeding. Please know, I will not send yarn out of this house that I am not confident in. If you feel like you are seeing excessive bleeding, please do not hesitate to contact me and include a photo so we can address the issue.
Do you offer an anti-fat tax policy?
Without hesitation! I am a firm believer that no one should have to pay a much larger cost or be barred from a product simply because they live in a bigger body. I totally get it. All bodies are wonderful bodies. Please take 10% off of orders of 7+ skeins that are purchased with the intention to be used in a single project using code YOUAREMAGIC
Please respect this discount and only use it if you need it. This system is built on trust, and if it is taken advantage of, we will need to figure something else out for those who need it.
Do you offer yarn support to designers and their testers?
Yes! Please read my "GIVING BACK+ETHICS" page, it's all there!
Do you offer wholesale?
