Caring for Wool

I heat your yarn incredibly slowly when dyeing it and then keep it cooking for a very long time to ensure all dye is exhausted from the bath, before allowing it to cool oh-so-slowly overnight. Very saturated colours might even go through the whole cooking process again next morning, but this time without adding any dye.

The next day brings with it abundant rinsing and washing, before slow spinning the clean water from the yarn to hang it above a sink/outside where it will drip dry for the day. It will then overnight for at least 12hrs in a comfortably warm drying room, before being wound into beautiful skeins and hand labelled ready to sneak between tissue paper blankets and snuggle down in a box for its journey to you.

Despite all this love, some dark or saturated colourways might still bleed a little. Please wash your knits in cool water, with mild soap and please do not let them sit fully submerged without movement for more than 5 mins if wet blocking. For colourwork projects, I recommend first knitting a swatch using all the colours, then wash and block to make sure there is no colour bleed.
