        Please be aware that although all of my yarns are superwash, I do not recommend machine washing.  To increase the longevity of your projects, you should hand wash your finished objects in cold water with a small amount of wool wash (I prefer Eucalan) and lay flat to dry.

        Great care has been taken to assure color accuracies in our photographs, but please be aware that monitor colors may vary.
