Question 1

Why did you stop using organza bags?

Accepted Answer

The reason why we do not send the yarn cakes in organza bags anymore is simply because they are made of synthetic fibres such as nylon or polyester which are not environmentally friendly. The tissue paper we now use is and can be recycled!

Question 2

Why has my yarn cake has come as 2/3 cakes

Accepted Answer

Due to the weight of the larger cakes they have to be split down into smaller cakes. The largest we can supply as a single cake is 1750m of 4 ply or 2500m of 3 ply. Any cakes larger than this will be supplied as 2 or 3 cakes depending on the total meterage.

Question 3

Why is the postage over 2kg more expensive?

Accepted Answer

Orders over 2kg most likely need to be placed in a larger box, and a larger box is more expensive. Also the prices differ depending on where you live. We look for the most economical service available to make sure you receive your parcel quickly and at a reasonable price.

Question 4

Why do you use loose fill? Is it recyclable?

Accepted Answer

We use loose fill because the yarn cakes are little treasures and need to be kept safe in transit. The loose fill is biodegradable, it can be either put in the compost or dissolved in water.
