Making a purchase could not be easier. Just browse our store, and add any items that you wish to buy into the shopping cart. After you have finished your selection, click on 'Checkout' and you will be asked for a few details that we need to be able to complete the order.
When confirmation of your order is received, this is to indicate that we have received your order. It does not indicate that a contract exists between us. We will indicate acceptance of your order, and hence a contract between us, when we send you an invoice. We have included this term to protect us in the case that a mistake has been made in pricing, we have inadvertently under-priced goods, or we are no longer able to supply a particular product for some reason. In the case of a change of price, we will always contact you first to ensure that the price is acceptable.

We do not ship Saturdays and Sundays, our offices are not open at the weekends.
We will normally send your order to you on the same or next working day. International orders of 2 kg or more are tracked and generally delivered within 5-7 working days. Orders below 2 kg are sent via Royal Mail, untracked, and are generally delivered within 7-10 working days. With Royal Mail parcels, please leave at least 20 working days for your order to arrive as this is how long some Canadian/US orders can take to arrive.
If you don’t receive your package within the above timeframes, please let us know and we can investigate it. We will work with you to get your order.
PUBLIC HOLIDAYS
Royal Mail and many courier companies do not operate during public holidays so please allow a few extra days for delivery at these times to allow for clearance of a backlog of parcels.
We recommend ordering a few days in advance of your usual schedule around public holidays to account for the possible delays.
PROOF OF DELIVERY
You agree that proof of delivery supplied by our delivery company is sufficient evidence to establish that goods have been received.

For orders to Canada/US, our prices also include the payment of import duty. We will refund the import duty on your Canada/US order where applicable. Payment of any other taxes or charges are the responsibility of the buyer. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to purchase. We have no control over these charges and cannot predict their amount. If a buyer refuses to pay import fees to clear a shipment through customs, it is treated as a return and the return is at your cost.

Credit Card transactions are undertaken through paypal.

Any complaints regarding the goods or services supplied should be made to info@yarnundyed.com. You can also call us on + 44 (0)1274 471274 our normal office hours are 9am - 5.00pm Monday - Friday, UK time.

Yarn Care - After Sales
Our yarns are made mainly from natural materials and are sold in their undyed state. We recommend that any garment directly knitted is hand washed or machine washed on a wool cycle at no more than 30 degrees and allowed to dry on a flat surface. Do not tumble dry.
This includes yarns marked as ‘superwash’. Whilst this process will improve the washability, it is not a process that can eliminate pilling or shrinkage usually brought on by washing in higher temperatures or tumble drying.
An alternative is to dry clean and we suggest that you speak to the dry cleaning professional about the composition of any garment before doing so.

7. YOUR RIGHTS IN RELATION TO YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
Your duty to inform us of changes
It is important that the personal information we hold about you is accurate and current. Please keep us informed if your personal information changes during your relationship with us.
Your rights in connection with your personal information
Under certain circumstances, under the GDPR, you have the right to:
" Request access to your personal information (commonly known as a "data subject access request"). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal information we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
" Request correction of the personal information that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate information we hold about you corrected.
" Request erasure of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal information in circumstances where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal information where you have exercised your right to object to processing (see below).
" Object to processing of your personal information where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal information for direct marketing purposes.
" Request the restriction of processing of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of personal information about you, for example if you want us to establish its accuracy or the reason for processing it.
" Request the transfer of your personal information to another party.
If you want to review, verify, correct or request erasure of your personal information, object to the processing of your personal data, or request that we transfer a copy of your personal information to another party, please contact us.
No fee usually required
You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal information (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request for access is clearly unfounded or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with the request in such circumstances.
What we may need from you
We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access the information (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is another appropriate security measure to ensure that personal information is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it.
Your right to withdraw consent
In the limited circumstances where you may have provided your consent to the collection, processing and transfer of your personal information for a specific purpose, you have the right to withdraw your consent for that specific processing at any time. To withdraw your consent, please contact us. Once we have received notification that you have withdrawn your consent, we will no longer process your information for the purpose or purposes you originally agreed to, unless we have another legitimate basis for doing so in law.

Knots in Yarn
The spinning, twisting and reeling of yarn are distinct steps in the production of a hank of yarn and the joining of individual lengths of yarn is required during each step. Most of the joins are spliced and are usually unnoticable, however, occasionally the splice may appear as a bump or fuzzy section in the yarn (particularly on heavier weight yarns. On some occasions, a knot is used to join the ends of yarn. Even with today's advanced spinning machinery, splice bumps and knots in the yarn cannot be entirely avoided. Up to three bumps/knots in a hank lie within the tolerance specifications used by most commercial suppliers. Our experience with our yarn shows far fewer noticeable joins than this. If you receive a hank with multiple knots or bumps please let us know.

DAMAGE IN TRANSIT
If any items were damaged in transit, we ask that you report it to us within 5 working days. If the items are visibly damaged on receipt, please refuse the delivery and call + 44 (0)1274 471274 or email info@yarnundyed.com to let us know about the damage.
