Actual color may vary slightly due to hand dyeing process and lighting. It is always recommended to alternate skeins to avoid unwanted color pooling if a project requires more than one.
Hanks can be wound into cakes for an additional fee. Not recommended for long term storage or for more than 3 hanks per order due to loss of integrity in the fiber from extended tension on the yarn. If you would like to purchase more than 3 caked hanks in your order, please e-mail freshwaterpurlfiber@gmail.com and I’d be happy to arrange that for you.
