📌 Please keep in mind: cone yarns may include light waxes from industrial processing. Gentle washes will help release the fiber and soften the final fabric.

The amount of yarn shown on cones in the photos may not reflect the actual quantity you’ll receive. Yarn is custom-wound per your order.
🎨 Colors are photographed in natural lighting but may appear slightly different depending on your screen settings. I highly recommend zooming in on each photo to fully appreciate the yarn’s texture and finish.
