FAQ

What is Self-striping Sock Yarn ?

This yarn is dyed with a stripe pattern repeat so when you knit you get stripes without the need to change yarns. You can knit in any stitch and self striping yarn will give you stripes. 

This yarn is fantastic for socks, but can also br used for other projects; stripy cowl, scarf, gloves etc.

Is 'Sock' yarn only for socks ?

No !     Sock yarn generally has a little bit of nylon in it, usually around 20%.  The nylon adds strength, elasticity and the durability required for socks.  The sock yarns can be used on other projects not just for socks.

How much yarn do I need for a pair of socks ?

Typically, you will need one 100g skein of yarn to make one pair of UK size 9 adult socks.

Will my yarn colour be the same as on my screen?

Due to differences in photography and display settings, we can't guarantee the colours you see online will match the yarn supplied. Please expect some differences. 

Do you have samples?

 Unfortunately, we don't send out samples. Our yarn is individually hand-dyed and we would end up with multiple skeins of yarn that we cannot sell.

Do you sell patterns?

Yes we do. Please visit the patterns category in our shop.  We will add new patterns from time to time, so please revisit. Some patterns are even free. 

Can I pay with PayPal?

Yes, you can. You do not need a PayPal account to use this method of payment.  Simply enter your card details

I have placed an order, but I haven't received a confirmation email

Sometimes the order confirmation can end up in your spam folder, so please check this. You should receive the confirmation with 24 hours of placing the order.  Please contact us if you still haven't received your confirmation after 24 hours and we will check.

Why is my skein of yarn a different weight?

Yarn is a natural product and contains a percentage of moisture.  Yarn can increase its weight significantly in damp conditions and weigh less in dry conditions.  A 100g ball or skein of yarn can weigh up to +/- 10%.  As well as the weight, the length of yarn will vary with moisture content.
