WHAT TYPE OF YARN IS USED?
Each item will vary with yarn type. These can be found in item descriptions! Nearly all 'Re-worked' items will be 100% acrylic yarn; while fully hand crochet pieces by us will be mostly 100% cotton, wool or mohair.
HOW DO I WASH/DRY MY ITEMS?
Washing and drying will depend on the yarn, but as a general rule of thumb you should hand-wash and lay flat to dry. A chart will be below with instructions for each yarn type.
HOW DO YOU PRICE YOUR ITEMS?
Most of my pieces, especially my clothing items, take me days and sometimes weeks to create. My prices will always reflect the amount of time that I have spent plus the yarn amount.
WHERE DO YOU SOURCE THE PRE-LOVED/VINTAGE BLANKETS?
We source are blankets anyway we can! We get most of our blankets from thrift stores, vintage resellers and resale sites.
WHAT DO YOU DO WITH YARN SCRAPS?
All of our yarn scraps are saved to use as stuffing for future projects including : pillows & bean bag chairs!
COTTON
Cotton can be washed in the washing machine on a gentle cycle using either cold or warm water. Lay flat to dry. This yarn will get softer the more you wash it.
