Washing instructions

Hand wash with wool detergent, preferably cold. Avoid wringing and twisting. Dry flat, out of direct sunlight. Do not spin or tumble dry.

Warning: Colours may fade with hand-dyed yarns
Hand-dyed yarns can sometimes 'bleed', especially during the first wash. This is because some dyes can bleed more strongly, especially with intensive shades such as red, blue or black. Although we aim to rinse out excess dye thoroughly, small amounts of dye may remain.

What can you do to reduce color bleeding?

• Always hand wash your knitted or crocheted project in cold water and use a mild wool detergent.
• Add a dash of vinegar or a color catcher to the wash water to catch any color run-through.
• Always wash strong colours separately, especially during the first wash.
• Let the project dry flat, out of the sun, to prevent fading.

Pooling and hand-dyed yarns
Our hand-dyed yarns can cause 'pooling' - areas where the same colour collects - due to their unique colouring. To prevent this, alternate between two skeins.

Colors of the yarns in the photo
I do my best to capture the colors of my hand-dyed yarns as accurately as possible in photos. However, it can happen that the colors appear slightly different in real life due to differences in screens or lighting conditions. If you have any doubts about a color or have specific questions, please feel free to contact me!
