📌 Please keep in mind: cone yarns, especially those with silk or alpaca, may contain protective wax for industrial use. Gentle washing allows the yarn to bloom and reach its softest, most beautiful form.

📸 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 highly recommend zooming in on each photo to fully appreciate the yarn’s texture and finish.
📌 ±1–2g variation per 100g is possible due to winding
✨ Yarn is wound by hand and carefully packed
