This yarn is HAND DYED by yours truly & MADE TO ORDER! I ask that you order enough yarn to finish and complete your project so that your skeins are better matched. While I try my best to maintain consistency with all of my yarns, I ask that you remember that with hand dyed yarns, NO TWO SKEINS WILL EVER BE IDENTICAL!!!!

Care Instructions: Machine wash gentle. Lay flat to dry. (Hand washing is STRONGLY recommended to maintain the color and quality of your finished piece.)

*NOTES - All companies, including companies who purchase dyed yarns from a mill can have a problem with bleeding or transfer of colors. This mostly occurs in blues and teals, but can occur with any very dark and saturated color. Every effort has been made to ensure that this yarn does not bleed. The color in this yarn has been set BUT you may or may not see an insignificant amount of color exhaust in the water during your first wash but nothing thereafter. This is common with most hand dyed yarns and again, hand washing is strongly suggested to maintain the color and quality of your finished piece.

Colors may vary slightly from the picture, due to lighting conditions, camera calibration and your computer monitor settings.
