Frequently Asked Questions

A note about Hand Painted Yarn:

The beauty of hand painted yarn is that each Skein is a one of a kind work of art. Because of this, you should expect that there will be slight variations in each Skein, even if dyed all together.

Please make sure if you are ordering that you purchase a sufficient amount for your project, as it will be nearly impossible to match it completely at a later time.

It is also recommended to alternate skeins when working to avoid abrupt color changes in your pattern.

Custom and personalized orders

I welcome custom orders and will work hard to get it just right. Due to the nature of custom orders, returns or cancellations are not accepted. So please be sure of what you want before placing your order.

How does the choice of Fiber affect the color saturation?

Different fibers react to the dye in different ways so the color you recieve will not be an exact replica of what is shown. Since each skein is dyed by hand, slight variations are to be expected.

In general, Pure Silk tends to end up more vibrant and saturated, while Alpaca and Alpaca blends may be more muted.

A deeper color is still possible with these fibers but please make sure to indicate if this is your preference when ordering.

Why buy handmade?

Handmade items are special. They aren't made with machines, every stitch is done by hand. Each piece that I produce contains a small part of me, of my life, and is made with love.
When you give a handmade gift, you aren't just giving an item, you're showing the recipient how much you care. And receiving a handmade item fills your heart with the love and is something that will be treasured for many years.
My goal is to create special, one of a kind items that can be enjoyed by all. Instead of buying mass-produced, boring and cheap, shop handmade and find a gift that's unique!
