Care Instructions

Hand dyed yarn care

We pre-wash our yarn with delicate soap before releasing to the wild.

To continue to care for our yarn, we strongly recommend using

delicate detergent for wool and silk,
hand wash in cool to room temperature water, and
dry flat.

Avoid washing it in washing machine and dryer even though it says "superwash" or on lowest heat and rpm setting. Agitation from tumbling will cause the fibre to pill and in the worst case, shrink and felt.

Ensure fully dry and store away from the sun to prevent discoloration.
