Announcement    All listings are set to pre-order as I am traveling to two shows. Once I return later in April, I will update my inventory and set listings back to ready to ship. Thanks for your understanding!

I hand-dye luxurious natural fibers/yarns in the colors I see abounding in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. I gain inspiration from nature, the amazing colors in all four seasons, gorgeous hues from my flower beds, the Great Lakes, and all over the UP.

Frequently asked questions

Ethically Sourced Yarns

Yarn suppliers' website information regarding sourcing of animal fiber:

Where are our fibers sourced?
• Bluefaced Leicester is 100% British, coming from small farms all over the UK.
• Merino fibers come from various sources (not Australia). We specify that none of our merino fibers are to come from farms practicing mulesing.
• Superwash Merino comes from Argentina and Uruguay.
• Non-superwash Merino is Peruvian Merino.

Color variation of monitors:
All monitors are different - yarns may look slightly different. I include the colors in the description of the yarn.

Care:
I recommend hand washing superwash yarns for longevity of the garment.

Please wash item separately the first time. Dry flat.

Custom and personalized orders

• I'm happy to dye a custom order for you. We will discuss in detail your wishes. I will create a RESERVED listing for {your name} and provide that link to you. Once you have paid in full within (24 hours), I will complete your order and ship it to you, usually in less than one week.

• I use USPS First Class or Priority in the USA. Default shipping is First Class.

• There are international shipping options, and upgrades are available by contacting me at time of sale. Insurance, confirmation, or international customs are extras that the buyer is responsible for and a customs form will be on the shipping label.

Return Policy

I do not accept returns on yarn unless the error is mine (shipping out wrong base, color by mistake). If you find that you do have a problem with it, please message me and I will try to resolve the problem as best as I can.
