Disclaimers

Handmade Item Notice

All pieces are handmade indivigually using crochet techniques. Because of the nature of handcrafted work, slight variations in stitch tension, texture, and finishing may occur.

These small diffrences are normal and are part of what makes each handmade item unique.

Variegated Yarn Notice

Items made with variegated or multicolored yarn will naturally display shifting color patterns throughout the fabric.

Because each item is handmade and may require multiple skeins, the placement of colors, striping, or shading may vary from piece to piece. Skeins may also be started from diffrent ends, which can change the color progression.

These variations are a natural characteristic of variegated yarn and ensure that every item is one of a kind.

Yarn Dye Lot Variation

Yarn is produced in batches called dye lots. While we make every effort to use matching skeins, slight color differences can occur between dye lots.

If an item requires additional skeins beyond the original batch, there may be subtle differences in shade. This is a normal occurance in textile production.

Color Accuracy Notice

We strive to photograph products as accurately as possible. However, colors may appear slightly different depending on lighting conditions, photography, and individual screen settings.

Actual product colors may vary slightly from what appears on your device.
