Frequently Asked Questions
FAQs
Why do you use British wool instead of stocking merino?
At Woollen Wytch, we’re proud to support British farmers by using 100% British-grown wool.
This not only reduces the carbon footprint of our yarn but also celebrates the incredible variety and quality of wool produced right here in the UK.
While merino is popular, it’s often sourced from South America or Australia, which comes with significant environmental costs.
By choosing British wool, we’re championing sustainability, local agriculture, and heritage breeds. 🌍🐑
How is hand-dyed yarn packaged for shipping?
At Woollen Wytch, we prioritize sustainability in our packaging.
Your hand-dyed yarn is carefully wrapped to protect it during transit, using eco-friendly materials like recyclable paper and compostable mailers.
We avoid using plastic whenever possible, so your yarn arrives beautifully presented and planet-friendly! 🌍✨
Why does my skein of hand-dyed yarn look different from the photos online?
Each skein of hand-dyed yarn is a unique work of art, dyed in small batches that can result in slight variations.
Lighting and screen settings may also affect how colours appear.
These subtle differences are part of the charm and individuality of hand dyed yarns.
Will the colours in hand-dyed yarn bleed or fade?
Hand-dyed yarns are carefully dyed using professional-grade acid dyes and set with citric acid to lock in the colours.
While minimal bleeding can sometimes occur during the first wash, proper care—such as washing in cool water with a gentle detergent—will keep your yarn vibrant for years to come.
