Wool is a natural fibre — minor shade variation between batches is a sign of authenticity, not a defect.
⚠ Please note — White & Natural/Ecru only:
Because we use only gentle, certified Swiss dyes without heavy chemicals, lighter shades such as White and Natural/Ecru may show a subtle variation in tone between batches — influenced by the flock the wool came from and what the sheep were grazing on. This is the natural character of real wool, not a fault. Please make sure you buy enough to complete your project in one order.
Colours may slightly vary depending on your screen settings.
- Machine wash 30°C delicate cycle only
- Do not bleach
- Do not tumble dry
- Do not iron
- Dry clean permitted
- Lay flat to dry
Wool may slightly shred and can have a natural animal smell at the beginning. Do not stretch or pull strongly as it may rip or damage your yarn.
