FAQs

Our Yarn

Common questions about our fibers, dyeing, and dye lots.

Is all of your yarn made of natural fibers?

Yes. Our bases are made from natural fibers from mills and suppliers we've worked with for years. We choose partners who are open about where their fibers come from. We only use non-mulesed merino and certified OEKO-TEX standard. If you have any questions, please email us. 

Is your yarn hand-dyed?

Our yarns are hand-dyed in small batches in our Nashville studio using acid dyes. It's called acid dyes because we need to add citric acid to lower the pH level, which helps the color bond to the wool. Serene Bloom is our one mill-dyed line, made on the same Serene merino base in colors we carefully selected from our popular colorways.

How consistent are your dye lots?

As with any hand-dyed yarn, slight variations between batches are normal. If you order more than one skein of a color, we'll send skeins from the same dye lot. For larger projects, we recommend alternating skeins every few rows. Some colors share a name across hand-dyed Serene and Serene Bloom. These are close matches but different dye lots, so we don't recommend mixing them in one project.

Can you wind my yarn into a ball?

Yes. Add the ball winding service to your cart for each skein you'd like wound ($3 per skein). Wound yarn can't be returned or exchanged.

Do you offer a yarn subscription?

Our yarn subscription is coming soon. Sign up for our newsletter to be the first to know when it opens.

Shipping

Common questions about shipping times, costs, and pickup.

How quickly will my order ship?

How much is shipping?

U.S. shipping is calculated by weight at checkout. We ship with UPS or USPS.

Do you ship internationally?

Yes, except to the European Union. International shipping is calculated at checkout. Customs duties, taxes, and fees are the customer's responsibility, and international orders can't be returned.

Can I pick up my order?

Yes. Choose local pickup at checkout, and we'll email you when your order is ready at our Nashville shop.

My package is lost or damaged. What do I do?

Contact the carrier first to file a claim. If they won't let you file, email us and we'll file it as the sender. We'll do our best to help. Once a package leaves our studio, it's in the carrier's hands so we can't control delays or damage during transit. But we'll work with you and the carrier to sort it out. 

Returns and Cancellations

Common questions about returns, exchanges, and cancellations.

What is your return policy?

U.S. orders can be returned for store credit within 30 days of the ship date. Yarn must be unused, unwound, and from a smoke-free home. Return shipping is paid by the customer. See our Refund Policy for details.

Can I cancel a preorder?

Yes, anytime before it ships. Email us with your order number for a full refund. Custom color requests receive store credit instead of a refund.

What if I received the wrong item?

Email us and we'll make it right. hello@camelliafibercompany.com
