THIS IS LIMITED QUANTITY YARN!

📍 CONES ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE YARN PRICE.
Unlike other shops where cone costs are often built into the yarn price—regardless of the format—our pricing is transparent. You pay only for the yarn itself. If you’d like your order wound on a cone, it can be purchased separately. This small additional charge also helps cover the shipping cost associated with different packaging sizes and the self-cost of the cone. No hidden fees, no inflated markups—just honest, straightforward pricing.

💡 Tips & Recommendations:
Due to its very fine nature, this yarn is best held together in multiple strands for hand knitting. Start with 3 strands for machine knitting or 5–6 strands for hand knitting to achieve the ideal balance of softness, structure, and drape.

🧷 Recommended Needles/Hooks:
• Lace single-strand: 1.5–2.0 mm (US 000–0)
• Three strands: 2.5–3.0 mm (US 1.5–3)
• Five–six strands: 3.5–4.5 mm (US 4–7)

🧵 Weaving Suitability:
Suitable for weft; not recommended for warp without reinforcement.

📏 Recommended Yarn Usage (5–6 strands held together):
• Short-Sleeve Top: 200–300g (4800–7200 m / 5250–7875 yd)

🫧 Care Instructions:
• Hand wash gently in cold water with mild detergent

📍 Please note: Most yarn prepared on cones for machine knitting is lightly waxed to ensure smooth running through the machine. Once knit, it should be washed to reveal its true softness.

📸 Please Note
• 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 recommend zooming in on each photo to appreciate the beauty and texture of the yarn.
• ±1–2g variation per 100g may occur due to the winding process.
• Each ball/cone is wound with care and packed securely to ensure it reaches you in perfect condition.

📦 Shipping & Order Processing
Orders are prepared in the order received and typically ship within 3–5 business days. Custom requests such as winding into cones may take additional time and care. To ensure efficient shipping, we may combine multiple orders placed before the initial shipment. Shipping refunds will not be issued for combined orders.

We ship worldwide, and tracking is provided for every shipment. Local taxes or customs fees (if any) are the responsibility of the buyer.
