CountryMouseYarns
Announcement
Welcome to Country Mouse Yarns and thank you for visiting. I create hand painted yarns in my home studio for you to enjoy. I love nature and this is often reflected in my yarn designs. The Jurassic Coast is a key theme I love to explore given where I live. Every skein is hand painted so no two are ever identical.
I run mystery yarn clubs each month along with themed yarn boxes coming soon. I work with other Dorset based creatives to source gifts for yarn clubs and themed boxes.
I offer a free yarn caking service if you request it upon purchase.
Items are sent out within 12-24 hours (excluding weekends). I aim for speediness to keep my fellow yarnaholics happy!
I will not overcharge on postage therefore if it comes out excessively cheaper once I apply the postage I will refund you so that you pay the correct amount. I have now amended my abroad postage to ensure it is a tracked and signed service as although this increases the price by a few pounds, it gives peace of mind to both you and me.
I can be found on Instagram, Facebook, Ravelry and Pinterest. I love what I do and I hope you do too.

5 out of 5 starsThis yarn is amazing, I loved the birds last year and it looks like I'm going to love the butterflies just as much. Soon I will have a pair of socks for every day! Thanks Lil for the lovely yarn you create for us.
About CountryMouseYarns
It's a yarn thing....
Hello and thank you for visiting!
I'm Lil, the owner of Country Mouse Yarns which is a cottage industry business run from my home studio in Dorset alongside caring for three young children. I joined the infamous Winwick Mum Sockalong when it first started and quickly became hooked on knitting socks, and grew steadily fascinated by all the wonderful yarns available. I woke up one morning and just knew I had to have a go at hand dyeing yarn. I completely fell in love with it as every skein was like working on a painting to me. Country Mouse Yarns was born soon afterwards.
I love my family, walking my dogs, feeding and nurturing wild birds, nature in all its glory, and walking amongst it. I've a passion for wildlife and have the privilege of hand feeding garden birds, which takes time and patience, but the rewards are incredible.
You can find me on Instagram, Facebook and Pinterest. I'd love to see you there!

Frequently asked questions
Care instructions
My yarns can be machine washed on a wool cycle. I prefer hand washing as it prolongs the life of the item though many handmade items are comfortable on a gentle 30 degree cycle. It's your choice, but bear in mind if you've worked hard to create an item it's not worth risking it. Never tumble dry wool products....you will be faced with shrunken and / or felted items.
How long do you take to ship items?
I post items within 24 hours as a rule. I know what it's like to order squishy yarn parcels and nobody wants to wait...so I get to the post office asap.
How do you ship items?
Either by Royal Mail in the UK, or Airmail if abroad. I obtain receipts. If you want an item tracked please discuss this with me before purchase.
What's your return policy?
If you feel an item isn't what you wanted upon arrival, it needs to be returned within 14 days exactly as dispatched I.e. Still in a skein, unused. Return shipping costs are the buyer's responsibility.
Gift wrapping and packaging
My items are gift wrapped as a matter of course.
Sizing details
My skeins are 100g unless otherwise stated.
