Custom-Dyes

NOTE: Pictures are representative only. Your yarns are not dyed until you order them, so they are always a custom dye job; depending on yarn availability and the dye schedule it will be approximately 2-3 week (summer schedule). Yarns are dyed using my standardized recipes, but each is an individual creation and so some variations will occur; also, you are welcome to request your own changes to a regular colorway OR request something entirely different. If you order two or more of the same colorway at the same time, they will be dyed together to help ensure a good match.



New Colorway!  ”Party Favors”!

Party Favors — like those silly hats, toot horns and whistles, finger poppers — come in a variety of colors.  When you buy a bag of trinkets and party favors, there’s no telling what’s inside.

 

 

 

The new “Party Favors” colorway is like that:  a random combination of six colors spaced out along the skein.  If you order 2 or more, they will be dyed identically to ensure matching within your project. If you don’t specific any preference the colors will be a random mix of whatever colors are on tap during a dye session.  BUT!!!  you CAN ask for your own colors, too!   In the “Special Instructions” box when you order Party Favors you can write something like “6 bold rainbow colors colors,” “Pastel shades”, “Different shades of Coffee”, “Nature colors brown and green” — it’s your yarn, ask for what you want!


International Customers! –  As of June 2012, I am able to ship First Class International, but more than 3 skeins will automatically have to be Priority International.  If you wish to make a purchase with a destination outside the U.S., email me first to determine the charges to your country and whether less expensive options are available.

Custom Dyes and Alterations

It is amazing what people want for their yarns. I have been asked to replicate sports team colors, the eyecolor of a special grandchild, and even a beloved family pet! Now, you can have custom dye jobs like this:

Go from this …

… to this …

to this

Truly Custom: Same price as regular socks. All I need is a clear digital picture of what you want. But please, don’t send a picture of the forest and ask for yarn like the flower at the base of the third tree from the left — just send me the picture of the flower! Or the blue of your grandchild’s eyes. Or whatever else tickles your fancy! Custom orders are prepaid, same as all orders above.

Modifications: OR, you can request one of my regular colorways to have a “little less of this, a little more of that” — I don’t normally dye until an order is placed, so if you almost like something but not quite, it is possible to play and manipulate color before it hits the yarn!

All you have to do is ASK! :-)
