Frequently asked questions

Is your yarn ethical?

Our fibres are sourced from reliable material suppliers where we can establish best practise in relation to animal husbandry and the environment, as well as the best rearing and grading practices.

No animals are injured to provide our fibre as we only use shorn materials or material that has shed naturally from the animal.



Can I see your yarn in person?

Yes! You can come along to any of the events that we are attending, ask our advice, browse, and meet like-minded yarnies! View Events



Washing and drying instructions

Technically, any yarn described as "Superwash" can be machine washed (on a low heat, low spin cycle). However, we would ALWAYS recommend hand washing in warm soapy water. This is to avoid colour leakage, felting, and damaging your make.
Dry flat to avoid stretching/warping your projects. Never tumble dry wool products.
This may seem frustrating, but it is worth protecting the time and money spent on your creations



How do I use yarn that is twisted into a hank?

Yarn swift A hank is made up of a large loop, 1-2m in diameter. To avoid tangles, we leave tags on our yarn: remember to remove these before attempting to wind. The easiest way is by using a Yarn Swift and a ball winder (right) to transform the hank into a "cake" or ball. If you don't have a yarn swift, you can carefully hang the hank on a door handle, or ask a friend to hold it taut while you manually wind the yarn into a ball. Or... We now offer a Caking service for ONLY £1 per hank!
