FAQ
Where our yarn comes from
Our yarn and most materials are carefully selected from around the world! It is sourced from one country and milled in another to ensure the utmost quality. To name a few: Australia, Argentina, South Africa, Uruguay and Italy. The fibers in ALL bases come from farms that follow mulesing-free practices.

How to care for our yarns
-
Hand wash gently: Fill a basin with cold water and your favorite wool wash. Submerge the yarn, and avoid any twisting or agitation. Even though we strive for our yarn to be as dye-fast as possible, our darker colors may bleed slightly in the first few washes. For a project that mixes dark and light colors, we recommend using a color catcher just to be safe.
-
After soaking for 15-20 minutes, gently squeeze out the water and lay the project on a towel. Roll it up to remove excess moisture by pressing, NOT by wringing it out. Then if desired, shape and pin it in place on a blocking mat to dry.

I hope this helps y'all keep your heirloom pieces looking beautiful and fresh after each wash!
The Nature and Art of Hand Dyed Yarn
Each skein is hand dyed by Addy! While we aim for consistency amongst colorways, and carefully select similar dye lots when shipping orders, every skein is unique. Please allow for slight color differences due to the nature of our favorite artistic dye styles as well as differences in screens/monitors. Some colors are also difficult to photograph due to intense saturation levels. Thank you so much for supporting our art!
Ever wonder why our yarn smells so good?!
We use a special wool wash in our process that delicately cleanses the fibers and applies our well known signature scent to our yarn! We have received amazing feedback for the added luxury it brings which makes me happy to know this enhances the making process as well as ensures the highest quality of colorfastness.
