Terms and Conditions

1: Product descriptions

All the information on our website is accurate to the best of our knowledge. However, we supply artisan product and we cannot guarantee that all product descriptions are current and error free. We will correct errors as soon as they are brought to our attention. Colour names and swatches are for your convenience only and, as there are variations in the way computer screens display colours, the colour that you see may not match the actual colour of the yarn. If you are really unhappy with your yarn, you may return it (see below) but we do not accept returns of any items that are discontinued or on sale.

2: Our delivery service

We use national postal services for our deliveries and, provided the goods are in stock, we will normally despatch your order within 2 working days. If for some reason we cannot despatch promptly, we will e-mail you.

As most of our orders are posted from Jersey in the British Isles, our parcels have to clear customs before continuing onto their destination, so we cannot guarantee the same speed of parcel arrival as mainland UK. Please allow for longer shipping time if ordering for a particular date in mind. If you have any concerns, please get in touch and we will be happy to provide further information.

Tracking numbers for international orders may be assigned to your parcel before reaching the post office. If tracking information does not appear straight away, please allow at least one working day for your parcel to be registered by the post office.

NB: Please see Covid-19 Notice for ongoing updates to this to deliveries.

3: Payment security

We use PayPal to ensure security for you and we abide by PayPal’s terms and conditions. You may pay by cheque or bank transfer if you prefer. Your order is accepted once payment is received and will be despatched when payment is cleared. You will receive a confirmation of your order by email.

4: Tax

The prices on our website are inclusive of sales tax.

5: Goods that are out of stock

If we do not have enough stock to complete your order, we will email or phone you to advise. You may wish to have your items back-ordered at that point, take part delivery or cancel the order. Please note that it can take up to six weeks to re-stock from some of our US suppliers.

If you need to cancel your order, we do not refund any charges made by PayPal to process the original transaction at this time, as PayPal will not refund their charges to us.
