Please, bear in mind the following:
- Due to the nature of hand-dyeing process hand-dyed yarn tends to vary both between and within dye lots. Colourways will vary much more drastically across bases due to the difference in plies, fibre content.
- The skeins has been photographed in natural light to give you the best representation of the colour, but please be aware that screens and monitors can differ slightly. We cannot guarantee that your device`s display of any colour will be accurate.
- Please be sure to hand-wash all of your knits in cool water with a gentle wash.
Thank you for your understanding!

Each skein is hand-dyed in small batches and variations between skeins should be expected. We dye and store all of our yarn in our smoke-free and pet-free studio. Due to the individual nature of hand-dyed yarn, we would always recommend alternating skeins.
Animal fibres absorb dye differently depending on their structure. Some bases produce richer, deeper tones, while others create softer or more subtle colour effects. Blends that include reinforcing fibres such as nylon may show higher contrast or more defined speckling. Non-superwash bases often display more nuanced, painterly colour variation.

High quality acid dyes are properly set before washing and rinsing twice to assure the colour adheres correctly, however some bright or extreme colours may bleed slightly in the first wash.
