Frequently asked questions

Can I request for a custom order?

Yes you can.

PRE-ORDER:
I accept pre-order for 3 or more skeins of the same colourway if it is not available in the shop.

I also accept request to dye to your specification. However, I do not copy colourway from other dyers.

For these types of order, please allow 1-2 weeks turnaround depends on the availability of the base you want.

Care instructions

I always ensure that my hand dyed yarns are rinsed until the water is clear. But sometimes, there may be some residue from the dye during the first wash after you completed a project.

When washing your woolly project, use a delicate wool wash in lukewarm or cold water. Squeeze out excess water and lay flat to dry.

What is "misfit" and "OOAK"?

"Misfit" are batches that deviated from my original idea of a colourway. They are still good ol'yarn but may not be available as a repeated colourway or quantity.

"OOAK"is one-of-a-kind colourway that will not be repeated. I've either forgotten to jot down or misplaced the formula. Sometimes I will reformulate them but they will differ from the previous batch.

Why there are colour difference between skeins and dye batches?

Colourway may varies from batch to batch, especially variegated colourways. Some even vary skein to skein even if they are from the same batch. This is why hand dyed yarns are so special and unique.
I will try to keep the colourways as similar as possible but at times, there are need to change the dye processes or dyes that will result in the difference.

What are the services available for shipping?

For domestic orders (ie. Singapore) free shipping, it is standard postal service without tracking. If you would like to include a tracking service, please select the preferred shipping coverage.

For international orders, I am using standard postal service with tracking. However, no insurance for the package.
