This listing is for one skein of yarn, and this yarn is dyed to order. Please use the drop-down menu to pick the base that you would like it to be dyed on. An up to date list of our yarn bases is available at: https://bluebarnfiber.com/pages/our-yarn-bases . This list includes the fiber content, weight, and yardage of each option available.
By default, our yarn will come to you in a skein and you will need to wind it into a ball or cake before using it. We offer our ball winding service here: https://bluebarnfiber.etsy.com/listing/643478077 which you can purchase separately if you don't want to wind it yourself. This process takes time, so it is not a service that we can offer for free. Please be sure to purchase the ball winding at the same time as your yarn order (otherwise I can’t guarantee that we will do it because I won’t see it on the packing slip when I go to ship it).
Important: please buy everything you need for your project all at once so I can do my best to ensure the yarn matches well. We have several colorways that will not be identical even if dyed at the same time, so we recommend alternating skeins if matching is a concern. I cannot stress enough how important this is.
Shipping: PLEASE READ THIS!
I strive to dye and ship orders as quicly as humanly possible. Most orders that are average in size will ship within about 1-2 weeks. However, I am the full time, 24/7 caregiver of our disabled daughter and she has good and bad days. I give myself up to FOUR weeks for new orders in case she has a series of bad days in which I cannot work, or we have a ton of orders come in all at once, as I am only human and can only do so much work per day. It is rare that it will take that long for me to ship orders, but please reach out if you are concerned with the wait time or if you are in a hurry and I can do my best to prioritize your order to the best of my ability.
Current yarn BASES available on Etsy may change periodically, so the full list is always on our website. If you already have an older or retired base and want me to dye more of it, please message me as I tend to keep extras on hand and might be able to still offer it even if it's not on the drop-down menu.

Care: Superwash wool is special because it is treated in such a way that it will not felt the way normal wool does, so your stitches will remain crisp and your finished work won’t shrink.
As with all hand dyed items, we recommend hand washing your yarn/finished item in cool water and laying it flat to dry. We rinse this yarn until the water runs crystal clear, but small amounts of excess dye may rarely come off with the first couple of washings. If this happens, rest assured that it is only excess dye and should not affect the coloring of your yarn in any way. If a large amount of bleeding ever occurs with any of our items, please contact us so we can make it right. We always recommend hand washing handmade items to preserve the longevity of your beautiful work.
We recommend using cool water and a neutral soap, such as baby shampoo, Soak, Unicorn, or Eucalan when blocking your finished item if you are knitting or crocheting it.
Extra note: I photograph our products with the utmost care taken to ensure that the color in the photos accurately represents what you will get. Please keep in mind that different monitors can display colors differently and there may also be slight variations from batch to batch. This yarn is dyed by hand and not by a machine. This means that small variations are normal, such as a speckle or spot here or there. These little nuances are a part of what makes hand dyed yarn beautiful. I try to only ever send yarn that matches the photo well enough to be obviously the same colorway, and I will never intentionally send yarn that looks significantly different from the listing photos.
Thank you for visiting our shop and supporting our small business. Our daughter's care requires me to be home with her at all times, and we couldn't do it without the support of customers like you. Every order directly goes towards helping us to give her a better life. Read more about Mirabelle on our Instagram highlights at https://www.instagram.com/bluebarnfiber/ . You can also follow us on instagram for all new colorways as they come out!

This listing is for one skein of yarn. This yarn is custom dyed to order so you can choose your base. Important: the time it takes to dye and send your order will change depending on the time of the year and how busy we are. Current ship-by time frames will always be up-to-date and posted here: https://bluebarnfiber.com/pages/shipping-times . It’s easier to have this on a page of its own since the times change depending on how busy we are.
Please see our yarn bases page here: https://bluebarnfiber.com/pages/our-yarn-basesfor a list and description of all of the base options available. (You may need to allow pop ups as this link will open in a new window. You can also click the Yarn Bases page at the top of our main menu to get to the same page).
By default, our yarn will come to you in a skein and you will need to wind it into a ball or cake before using it. We offer ball winding service separately if you do not wish to do this yourself (available here: https://bluebarnfiber.com/products/yarn-ball-winding-service-per-skein-purchase-this-if-you-cant-wind-skeins-into-balls-yourself?variant=33139200753763 ).
We highly recommend buying everything you need for your project all at once so I can do my best to ensure the yarn matches well. Yarn purchased at different times may not match perfectly. We also have a few colorways that will not be identical even if dyed at the same time, so we recommend alternating skeins if matching is a concern. This is typical for almost all indie dyed yarn, not just ours.
Please follow us on instagram at: https://www.instagram.com/bluebarnfiber/ for new colorways and ready to ship sets as they are released!
