Witch's Brew

Please note that while I do my best to ensure product photos accurately reflect the colours, they may appear differently depending on your screen or device settings.

I hand-dye all yarn in small batches, therefore slight variations between skeins are to be expected.

I recommend alternating skeins every couple of rows if using more than one skein.

When buying multiple skeins of the same colourway, I will always do my best to try to select skeins dyed in the same dye batch.

Cool gentle hand wash with a mild wool detergent is recommended.

Lay flat to dry

While I take care to rinse out any excess dye, you may notice a slight colour bleed during the first wash – this is normal particularly with more saturated colourways.

It is recommend to wash dark colours separately or wash a swatch before using dark and light colours together.

We are a dog-friendly home; however, all yarn is dyed in my utility room and then twisted, labelled, and stored in a dedicated home office/storeroom where pets are not allowed. That said, please note that yarn is briefly transferred between these spaces during the process.

I use professional acid dyes in my dyeing process, along with food-grade citric acid and, occasionally, white vinegar for sparkly yarns. After dyeing, the yarn is washed using Eucalan delicate wash, which contains lanolin and essential oils.

Mulesing free
All our yarns are ethically sourced from farms that do not practice mulesing, with a strong commitment to high animal welfare standards.

Superwash Treatment
Superwash wool is treated with a resin coating to help prevent felting and shrinkage during washing. At Hinchcraft, we only use yarns processed by reputable companies that follow strict environmental standards, ensuring responsible and sustainable production.
