The Dye Process/How to Care for Our Yarns:
The Green Button Jar yarns are dyed in small batches in our home dye studio. Hand dyed yarns are unique and you should except some variation within dye lots and batches due to the nature of the dyeing process. When possible we have provided a swatch to give you an idea of how colours may pool or develop in your knitting, but cheapest when worked up skeins may differ from these samples – this is the nature of hand dyed yarn. If you plan on knitting a larger project that requires several skeins of yarn, we recommend alternating skeins every few rows to ensure a consistent colour in your project.
We photograph our yarns in natural in-door light. Please keep in mind that computer settings and screens do vary.
Our hand dyed yarns are rinsed after the dye process, but some light bleeding may still occur – especially on highly pigmented and darker dye lots. Hand wash your knit items separately in cool water with a good wool wash. We recommend a no-rinse wool wash with lanolin (such as Eucalan) which will condition your hand knitted items and ensure they are heirlooms, treasured by the next generation.
The Green Button Jar Bases:
Bluefaced Leiscester (BFL) Fingering Weight 80/20: an ancient British longwool breed, BFL is known for its soft, strong and luxurious drape. BFL has a creamy buttery based that takes colour a bit differently than our other wool bases. Expect to find colours to appear more vibrant, muted, or darker depending on the dye bath. Superwash-treated and made up of 80% wool and 20% nylon, our BFL base is made in Canada, eh.
