5 out of 5 starsVery helpful seller, great quality yarn. And the pattern is slightly tricky to figure out, but nothing too challenging, quick knitting once understood.

5 out of 5 starsThis is a knitting pattern and I haven't yet made it, but I love the design and the pattern is clear and well written. I also appreciate that some of the money goes to homeless charities. I am looking forward to making the hat!

Frequently asked questions
Care instructions
Most of our yarn bases are superwash yarns, and therefore more resilient, however to extend the life of your final product (your knitting, crochet, weaving, your hard work), we recommend that you hand wash these yarns in cool to warm water and dry flat to extend their life and prevent felting.
There may be some variation from skein to skein, even within the same dyelot. So for best results within your projects, alternate skeins every few rows as this will help to blend the colours.
All skeins undergo a 4-5 step washing process but some colours are prone to a small amount of bleeding in their first or second wash, due to this we recommend washing separately in cold water with a gentle detergent or wool wash.
Shipping Methods
Within the UK our Standard shipping option is
- Royal Mail 1st Class £3.35 - Non-tracked
Which can be upgraded to Royal Mail 1st Class Signed for - £4.45
Upgrades are done automatically when purchasing more than one item, though you can specifically select if you wish to upgrade your shipping at checkout.
For postage outside the UK Royal Mail International Standard is used which is £6 as a base rate, however the cost is determined by weight so a small additional cost is added per item, after posting the postage overage will be refunded.
There are tracked services available for postage outside of the UK which can be selected at checkout, again any overages will be refunded.
