Frequently asked questions
Yarn Care
My yarns are dyed to be colourfast (in a normal washing machine cycle) and are rinsed thoroughly after dyeing, although in the interest of preserving water, I do not go overboard. A small amount of bleeding may occur in the first wash - this is normal, particularly for very bright, intense colours, and should not affect the actual colour of the yarn. Some colours such as bright turquoises, very bright greens and some pinks and yellows are more prone to bleeding. To minimise this, I recommend washing your finished knitted item in cold water for the first time.
While they are not usually shown in the pictures, all my yarns come with a label that includes basic care instructions.
Knots
I hate knots in yarn and I'm sure you do too! They are annoying but sadly inevitable - they happen in all types of yarn, from bargain bin stuff to luxury yarn. I do my best to keep them to a minimum and I re-skein and knot check all my yarns before listing them for sale. I make every effort to mention any knots in my listings. Skeins with more than one knot are offered at a reduced price.
Custom Dyeing, Wholesale, Bulk Discounts, Trading
I am open to all of the above, so please don't hesitate to ask. Enquiries are welcome!
Where do your yarns come from? Can you order in a different yarn base for me?
I source my yarns from established Australian and European suppliers. Depending on the type, I can order in different yarn bases at relatively short notice. I'm also always open to suggestions if you know of a great yarn base that I should stock.
How do you dye your yarns?
I use quality acid dyes, which work best for animal fibres such as wool and silk. Acid dyes may sound a bit scary, but they are very safe and generally low toxicity. Unlike some dyes, they do not require heavy metal mordants.
The acids most commonly used to set the dyes are white vinegar or citric acid. I use citric acid as it is odour-free and economical.
What is Etsy? Do you run Etsy?
No, I do not. :-) Etsy is a selling platform that is home to many thousands of individual shops.
Etsy may also choose to display similar items from other shops underneath my items, especially on mobile/app versions. I have no control over what other items may be shown to you. I am not responsible for the content of other shops' listings, nor am I associated with those shops.
Are my details safe with you? What do you use them for?
Yes! I take your privacy very seriously. Any newsletters, review reminders etc. that you may receive are sent to you by Etsy, not by me. If you are getting too many (or not enough!) of them, you can change your email preferences in your Etsy account settings. I will only ever contact you if a current order from my shop requires it and will not send you any spam messages, ever!
Your address details are only used to process your order. I do not have access to your financial details.
