For our brighter and neon colors, we do our best to ensure the dye is set. However, for high contrast colors—for example, if you use bright pink with undyed yarns—we recommend using a color catcher when wet blocking and washing. This will absorb any excess dye that may bleed.
As a small business, we may need to contact you to request additional shipping fees if the cost exceeds our allowance. We hope you understand that we cannot absorb these costs as we are a micro business. We do ship worldwide, and are GSPR registered. Our GSPR details will be attached to the outer packaging of your order.
