Spincycle uses wool that comes from sheep raised in the USA. Dyed In The Wool consists of Rambouillet, Targhee and Merino breeds, raised primarily in South Dakota and Wyoming. Dyed and Spun in Washington State.
You will receive skeins from the colorway you purchase, but not the exact skein pictured. Due to Spincycle's “dyed in the wool” process, each skein produced is unique, even within a dyelot. We recommend buying your entire yardage requirement for your project in the same transaction, so that we can hand select skeins that match.
For high contrast colorwork, we recommend steam blocking to avoid color transfer. Some dyes are notoriously difficult to set, and may exhaust some color even after our final wash. Please keep this in mind if you are combining any hand dyed yarn with a light color in the same project. If you plan to combine a hand dyed yarn, especially a very saturated colorway, with a lighter yarn, it is suggested that you test your darker skeins for possible color transfer by soaking them first. To wash your knitwear, a quick cold water dip with a no-rinse wool wash is recommended.
