This yarn is supplied still oiled for industrial knitting, and needs to be washed to "bloom" - the photo includes a washed skein to show how it blooms. Finished garments should be able to take the gentlest wash in your machine but for the first wash we strongly recommend a hot hand wash using detergent or shampoo, not soap (because you want to remove the oil), and the drying should include a good rub or a short tumble dry to fluff the fibres. To see more washing suggestions, click here. This wash should be carried out after knitting a garment, which gives a tighter and harder wearing overall result (but trial swatches should be treated the same way to see the final expected result of course).
We ship worldwide, unless asked otherwise we use Royal Mail first class in UK, Royal Mail Airmail small packet overseas. Usually that takes about 1 week to arrive in US or Asia, but can be a little longer.
We give full refunds, excluding postage, for any reason, even if you just change your mind!
Note the skein in the picture is to show the texture after a first wash, the item for sale is the three unwashed cones..
