Yarn Care
Yarn Care
Yarn is labeled with fiber content, yardage, grams and weight.
My yarn is hand dyed until the dye exhausts completely. After dyeing, my yarn is washed in a Eucalan soak, which softens the yarn and adds back a bit of lanolin.
Product listings include if the yarn is superwash or non-superwash. Yarn care varies between the two bases. Read below for proper care.
Non-superwash yarn is easily feltable. You need to hand wash in cool water, gently, with mild detergents. Block as needed after gently squeezing out excess water.
Superwash yarn has been processed to make risk of felting unlikely. You can be a little more vigorous with washing( socks may go in the washer on delicate with cool water & mild detergent. Lay flat or hang to dry) which makes care much simpler.

About hand dyed yarn
All hand dyed yarn is unique, even dyed within the same batch.
I provide a generic photo of the colorway, what you receive will never be an exact carbon copy.
If you experience any color wicking (color rubbing off on your hands), be aware that this is completely natural (especially with the color blue). A couple of things can create this effect, for example, your body's ph, or lotion. All yarns are heat set and rinsed before drying.
