IMPORTANT 

As with all hand-dyed yarns (and commercial in many cases), dark colors can/will bleed, especially blues and reds.  We take a great care to rinse our hand dyed yarns more than one time. 

However, we recommend that you pre-wash the darker skeins before starting your project OR knit a small swatch and do a color test.  

If you wish us to wind the skeins, it is strongly recommended not to wind darker colored skeins so that you can test and/or pre-wash them before knitting.

ENJOY!
