Please note: Every braid has been fully processed according to dyeing protocols, with professional acid dyes, and rinsed clear—-however, due to differences in soap, water minerals, and water temperature, there may be some residual bleeding. Reds, Neon Pinks and Purples, as well as Teals are especially prone to this issue. Please take extra care when using fiber containing these colors. Always wash in cold water and do not soak fiber.
Disclaimers:
I have done my best to ensure color accuracy in photos, but discrepancies due to computer screens may arise. Also, due to the nature of hand-dyeing, dyed items may not be exactly the same as pictured. Some differences will always exist between dye lots. If you require matching dye lots, please send a note.
Order Processing: All fiber braids are dyed to order. Our current processing time is reflected at checkout. Thank you!
*Please Note: Items that are non-superwash or have silk may not take the dye as vibrantly as superwash or non-silk items.
*INFO REGARDING CHOOSING A BREED OF WOOL: Every breed will take the dye a little differently, and some breeds are a whiter wool, or a more yellow/cream wool, which will affect the final look of the braid. Please review which breeds we have used for example photos in each colorway and feel free to ask if you are unsure how your chosen breed will affect the final colorway.

All hand dyed yarns are processed using professional acid dyes, however some dyes may still bleed in hot water or upon first washing. Please always wash hand dyed yarns in cold water and do not soak. While I do use Superwash yarn bases on the vast majority of my yarns, I still recommend laying your finished items flat to dry to protect the lifespan of your item.

Just received these lovely braids of “Polly want a cracker” today. I was kept up to date on shipment so I didn’t have to wonder where it was at. These will work wonderfully for my three shawls project trying different spinning/plying techniques between spin from the fold, fractal, and straight up spinning.

The seller is amazing and super helpful. The product is clearly made with care and the end result is vibrant colors and beautiful blends. I bought quite a few braids of roving and each one is soft, beautifully colored and excellently packaged.

I purchased two braids of BFL silk in the Polly Wants a Cracker colorway from Cashmere and Coconuts and am elated because my order arrived today in my mail! Shipping was probably slow because of Christmas, not fault of seller. I was amazed at the dye job on this fiber, it really looked just like the picture! This BFL/silk floof is changing my opinion on non-merino wool quality, it's that soft and lustrous as advertised. This store is now on my list of favorites, and I recommend them to anyone else looking for fiber to spin. They also have fantastic yarn, I may be ordering again before new Year, lol.
