Products & Colourways

Variation in Dye Lots

When more than one skein of the same colourway is ordered, we will ensure to ship you the same dye lot. We dye in batches of 8’s (with some colourways only available in batches of 4), so if more than 8 (or 4) skeins are ordered, we will need to ship you two different dye lots that will be very close to each other. Variations will naturally exist, even within the same dye lot, for hand-dyed yarns. Please alternate between 2 to 3 skeins for optimal colour blending.

Pre-washing & Swatching

We encourage you to swatch first with your yarns and wash your swatches to see how the colours will react before working on colourwork or big projects. Depending on the shade and intensity of the darker colour, we recommend that you pre-wash the skeins before using… just like you would separate your brand new dark blue jeans from your whites. Watch Charlotte Lee's Pre-Washing Hand-Dyed Yarn tutorial and/or Pre-Washing Multiple Skeins tutorial at the SweetGeorgia YouTube channel for helpful tips on this process.

Turquoise-based or magenta-based colourways are the most challenging to exhaust. It’s a good idea to also use "Color Catchers" in the wash to help absorb possible excess dye so that it doesn’t deposit anywhere else https://www.shoutitout.com/en-us/products/color-catcher-dye-trapping-sheet.
