Please note, that the yarn on the picture is Alpaca Chainette, all other yarn bases will NOT have the chainette structure.

BFL yarn does not need to have nylon in it to be durable and suitable for making socks which makes it a perfect alternative to synthetic blends. It is naturally strong and soft. This yarn is perfect for thicker socks and for other strong garments, for example, scarves, shawls, cardigans, hats.

It also has insulating properties meaning the thinnest of garments create thermal layer of warmth against the cold. The wool is mulesing free and comes from South America.

•I dye in small batches and a few skeins might be ready to ship straight away. I dye the rest to order and need a few days to complete the work.

• Please note, that since it's hand dyed yarn, no two skeins are identical, and skeins from different batches may vary. If you'd like to use a few skeins for one garment, please buy enough in one go so I could dye it for you with as little variation as possible.

•I would be happy to wind your skeins into cakes at no cost, please leave a message at checkout if you'd like that. Otherwise your yarn will be shipped in skeins

•I use acid dyes that result in vibrant permanent colours. I recommend to handwash a ready item in cool water with as little movement as possible for best results. Some colours might bleed at first wash.
