Will you reserve a specific colourway for me?

I would really love for everyone to get the same chance at buying the yarn. So i wont reserve yarn. 

What is a Concoction? Can you repeat it for me?

As a dyer i like to experiment, play, and sometimes things don't work out how i want. Concoctions are these skeins and they tend to be one of a kind therefore they are not repeatable.

Can you combine my orders?

If you purchase multiple orders close together i will be happy to combine them if you drop me an email (rustyferretyarn@gmail.com) and i will refund the extra postage. 

if your orders are say 6 hours apart, this may not be possible as your first order may have already been processed.

What do you use for packaging?

A personal ethic of mine is to throw away as little as possible/ recycle where you can. I have applied that to Rusty Ferret so have minimised the volume of packaging you receive with your order and have as much of it as recyclable as possible and be made from recycled materials again as much as possible.

Please let us know as soon as possible so that we can change it before your order gets posted. Once your order has been dispatched it cannot be changed, it is the customers responsibility to ensure they provide the correct address and a refund cannot be issued in this instance.

I forgot to use my discount code, could you apply it to my order?

Discount codes must be used at time of purchase and cant be applied afterwords.

At this moment in time, no. Im trying to find my feet in the world again and trying to manage my workload. Feel free to drop me an email at rustyferretyarn@gmail.com however and we can chat about it. I just cant promise you will get a yes. 

Are you available for trunk shows?

I would love to come and do a trunk show. Email me! rustyferretyarn@gmail.com

I purchased more than one skein of the same colourway, but they look slightly different. What's going on?

Due to the nature of hand dyeing, there will be a difference in colour from skein to skein. However yarn is listed by dye lot, so a difference between two skeins from the same dye lot will be minimal as they were dyed at the same time. I would also recommend alternating skeins when you are knitting to minimise any difference in colour if that's not your thing.
