About our Yarns
We specialize in hand-dyed luxury yarns, many of which are custom spun for us in the UK, some from British wools. If you have any questions about our yarns, please contact us and we will be happy to try to answer you.

Yarn care

All of our yarns should be washed gently at 30 degrees or less.

If you are using more than one skein of our hand-dyed yarn in a garment, we suggest that you work more than one skein together, i.e., work two rows in one skein, next two rows in another skein, etc., in order to ensure an even colour distribution over the whole garment.
