🌟frequently asked questions🌟

  • is one skein enough to make a pair of socks?

    short answer: yes!

    long answer: for most sock patterns and sizes. if you are making knee high socks or socks for very large feet, you may want to order another skein. check the yardage requirements of the pattern.

  • what pattern do you use to make your sample socks?

    i don't use a pattern but rather a collection of techniques: figure 8 cast on, mitered toe, short row heel and a folded hem bind off. i'll post the pattern for free later 💖

  • what knitting needle size do you use to knit your sample socks?

    i use two size 00 16 inch circulars, yikes! i am a loose knitter who likes a tight gauge.

  • do you combine shipping?

    absolutely. i totes understand the need to shop the update first and purchase mini skeins and winding services separately. i combine multiple orders as a regular practice, so you don't have to ask everytime.

  • do you offer preorders or custom orders?

    nope!

  • oops, can i cancel an order?

    yes! just message me right away because i start the shipping process the same day or the next day as the shop update.

  • i went to your shop for the update, but everything is sold out. why?

    okay, so. this is a blessing an a curse. my shop updates sell out in minutes. and by minutes i mean less than two minutes kinda minutes. so if you are late, it's likely that nothing is available to purchase in the shop.

  • can i buy your yarn from another shop?

    yes! right now the black squirrel is my only stockist and i only dye their exclusive colorways.

  • how do i find out when a shop update is?

    i usually announce shop updates on instagram @lunapurlyarns but i am exploring alternatives. might be a newsletter, might be something else. stay tuned!
