Twisted Ambitions Yarn Care
Twisted Ambitions Yarn recommends hand washing in cool water and laying flat to dry. Some light bleeding may occur during the first few washes. If working with highly saturated purples, pinks, or reds, it is best to avoid working them with pale colors.
I don't recommend soaking your yarn before use or rinsing it with vinegar, as these steps are unnecessary and do little to prevent dye bleeding.
The dyes used require heat and acid to bond with protein-based fibers. When you wash your garment, you might notice some color in the water, but this doesn't mean it will transfer to lighter yarns.
For best results, I recommend using cold water and a drop of mild detergent, as it's the safest option.
Please keep in mind that reds and whites don't mix well, whether hand-dyed or not. It's always a good idea to swatch first!
Reds, pinks, and purples are more likely to stain white or very light-colored yarns, with pinks being particularly notorious for bleeding in the textile industry. I recommend avoiding pairing these shades with very light colors.
Swatching will give you a clearer idea of what to expect.

Eco-Friendly Practices
Twisted Ambitions Yarn is firmly against the practice of mulesing and ensures that suppliers only provide mulesing-free wool. All yarn is ethically sourced from South America, where working conditions are fair and non-exploitative.
Twisted Ambitions Yarn uses non-toxic acid dyes and is dedicated to minimizing waste throughout the dyeing process.
To set the dye, Twisted Ambitions Yarn uses food-grade citric acid, which is naturally found in food and water and readily biodegrades, resulting in no significant negative impact on the environment.
At Twisted Ambitions Yarn, I'm deeply committed to sustainability and strive to minimize my environmental impact through thoughtful practices. Here's how I handle reduction, reuse, and recycling:
1. Reduction — I focus on reducing waste by carefully managing my dyeing processes and packaging materials. This helps ensure that I use only what is necessary and avoid excess.
2. Reuse — While I make every effort to reuse boxes, I always use new internal packaging to maintain hygiene and product quality. This ensures that every order you receive is fresh and in excellent condition.
3. Recycling — Twisted Ambitions Yarn recycles all cardboard that comes from suppliers. Additionally, I use cellophane bags that are 100% recyclable and poly-mailers that can also be recycled.
Rinsing & Winding
An unscented wool wash is used for rinsing all yarns.
We offer yarn winding services for $3 per skein. Simply add the cake winding service to your cart, available on the home page under the 'Info' tab.
