We spin our yarn at a very small "mini" mill and the process involves as much work by hand as by machine. The resulting yarn is truly special but sometimes there are small imperfections, much like handspun yarn. We think this is part of the charm and beauty of our craft. Rest assured that we do have very high quality standards and we check each skein before labeling. Nonetheless an occasional "second" quality skein slips by. Should you receive a skein that you think is too irregular, please contact us and we will make it right. We want you to be happy!
