Care instructions

How do I wash items made with your yarn?
Whilst superwash yarn in particular is often machine washable at low temperatures, I would always advise to wash hand knits separately by hand in luke-warm water and a mild detergent and to dry flat. 

Will the colours bleed?
All our yarn is rinsed thoroughly after dyeing to remove excess dye however it is entirely normal for hand-dyed yarn to bleed a little on the first wash. I would therefore advise washing items separately by hand.

Allergen Policy

Do you have pets?
All my yarns are dyed in my pet free and smoke free home.

Do you use scented woolwash/soap/other allergens?

Being ethically sound is crucial to The Yarn Artist. The wool used in my yarns is from Peru and Britain where mulesing is not practised.
