Sample Maker Agreement (Required)
You’ll agree to these terms inside the application form before submitting.
This is just a summary - find the Full Sample Maker Agreement below: If selected as a Sample Maker, Twisted Ambitions Yarn will provide the yarn, pattern, and project specifications. Yarn must be used exactly as assigned — no substitutions or pattern modifications without approval. Samples must meet gauge, show consistent stitch quality, be fully finished, and be properly blocked and presentation-ready.
Each project has a confirmed deadline before yarn ships. You’ll confirm your start and estimated completion date. If delays happen, communication is required. No contact for 7 days is considered non-compliance.
Before returning a sample, you must submit clear finished photos (full view, styled/worn if applicable, and a detail shot) and receive approval. Do not ship until approved. Returns must use tracked shipping, follow provided label instructions when issued, and be packaged cleanly and moisture-protected.
If you cannot complete a project, notify us immediately and return all yarn and work-in-progress within 7 days. Unreturned yarn may be invoiced at retail value.
Compensation is issued after approval and paid as a Twisted Ambitions Yarn shop gift card based on project size and complexity. Completed samples may be photographed and used for marketing and educational purposes with credit when appropriate. Submission and signature confirm acceptance of the full Sample Maker Agreement.
This agreement follows the laws of the State of Oklahoma.
