For makers
What is the difference between your four yarns?
They are all 100% Egyptian cotton in the same colours, in four thicknesses: Scarab (Super Fine), Nubia (Fine), Tiye (DK Light) and Neith (DK). Compare them side by side.
How many skeins do I need?
See our skeins-per-project guide for every yarn.
How do I wash my finished piece?
Hand wash cold, dry flat and do not tumble dry. Full care guide.
Do colours vary between batches?
Shade may vary between dye lots, so buy all the skeins for one project from the same lot.
Is your yarn available undyed?
Yes. All four yarns come undyed. See the undyed yarns.

Is there import duty in the EU?
