5 out of 5 starsThis yarn is stunning! Exactly as pictured, soft and great to work with. And this seller is exceptional! I accidentally ordered less than half of what was required for my project, and she has gone above and beyond to help get me the extra I needed. She is my new favorite seller!

5 out of 5 starsI'm having such a hard time... I love this wool so much. I was going to make something with it as a gift, but now I want to keep it for myself. It's soft and so pretty.

About YarnCook
Home-Based, Hand Made!
I started my shop two years ago after learning to hand-dye yarn for my own projects. It was so much fun, I just kept doing it, and decided I wanted to share my yarn with others!
I do several crafts, mostly weaving and knitting, but I never really felt "artistic" until I started dyeing yarn, and I still feel amazed by how the colors and ideas come to life in a pot of water, acid and dye! Sometimes I have a plan and it's so satisfying when the plan works exactly as it should, and other times, it's just a wonderful, random magic that makes beautiful yarn. Happy accidents are a great part of yarn dyeing. :)
I feel that my hand-dyes are personal items -- sometimes I have dyed a personal colorway for one person as a gift or for a particular project that I won't repeat. I don't dye super-large batches because I want my yarns to continue to be as unique as possible for the person who uses them.
I dye for people who want something lovely and unique for their projects. It's always a treat to dye the yarn that someone needs but can't find, to help dye an extra skein of the yarn you ran out of (or as close as I can get) or to meet new customers and see the beautiful things you all make with my yarns. It's been a wonderful experience, and one I look forward to each day. :)

Does hand-dyed yarn bleed?
The majority of my yarns won't ever bleed at all, though some yarns that demand very saturated dyes may show tints of color left in water when you hand or machine wash. If you are worried, just use a "color catcher" while washing.
Care instructions
I only use professional, permanent dyes on my wool, however I advise always hand-washing your fine knits in cool water and a gentle soap no more than once a year and dry flat, no matter the fiber. Even with a Superwash wool, hand-washing will lengthen the lifetime of your item and allow it to keep it's shape much better. If you DO want to put your pieces in the dryer, use the delicate cycle and I usually put a few other items or some dryer balls (wool balls to help things from sticking to the sides of the dryer) in with the item. You can also partly dry in the dryer, and then finish laying it flat to completely dry.
Why did my yarn come in a braided loop?
All yarn arrives in a "twisted skein" which comes apart into a "hank" or "loop." If you try to work from this hank, you will have a tangled mess on your hands in no time!
Before you use the yarn, you need to wind it into a ball. You can do this with a winder and swift, having a friend hold the hank for you while you wind it, or using the back of a chair. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqMpAAtaTyI
What is OOAK?
OOAK means "One of a Kind" -- this is a unique hand-dye that I have done on these yarns only and cannot be repeated -- a truly one of a kind colorway just for you!
