How do I care for the items that I've created with Distortion Fibers yarn?
The general rule of care for hand dyed yarns is to hand wash cold with a small amount of your favorite wool wash or gentle detergent, and lay flat to dry. These yarns are dyed with a specific multistep process to ensure color fastness, however some initial bleeding may occur. It's OK! As with any fiber or fabric, use caution when putting a very dark or intense color right next to a very light color (e.g. red/hot pink and white).
The majority of Distortion Fibers is superwash and, yes, it stretches when it gets wet. Again, it's OK! You can either lay it flat to dry in the dimensions that you want it, or if final dimensions aren't that important (like with a cowl), you can put it in the dryer! I personally put mine in the dryer on low and dry in 5 minute increments until it's almost dry but not completely and lay it flat for the remainder. It'll fluff right up and look like new. Taking care to properly clean and store your garments and accessories will ensure that they stay looking amazing for years to come.

How is color representation managed?
Due to the nature of yarns hand dyed in mulitple small batches, there may be some variation in colorways. This is particularly true with speckles. Photos are made to capture colors in their truest form, however please note that some variations may occur due to differences in viewing platforms, computer settings, and/or lighting. Photos may be a representation and not the actual product.
