Although most of our bases are superwash wool, I recomend that all finished projects are hand washed and layed flat to dry.

We do not offer skein winding services. 

Bad Sheep Yarn strives to represent the true colors of our yarn in the photos we post. We also work hard to make sure that larger orders are in the same color batch. In spite of all this, please keep in mind when ordering that each batch is done by human hands; and that some computer monitors have different light settings. Our ultimate goal is to create something beautiful, as close to the photo as we can, just for you.

Elinor yarn
Written by Linda Herd on Nov 15th 2023

A friend and I saw Elinor on the website and fell in love with the beautiful blue paired with the greens. We decided to order two skeins so I could knit a cowl or shawlette for each of us. When the yarn arrived, I was very disappointed to discover that both skeins are mostly green with just a small amount of blue. The difference in what I saw on line and what arrived at my house is more than I had anticipated. I have been knitting with hand-dyed yarns for over 40 years and realize that colors vary considerably; however, I would not have ordered this yarn if it had appeared on the web page as it does in person. I may choose to return it.

I bought this beautiful yarn to combine with Macbeth’s Witches to make a KBB shawl. I love it so much I just might use it in a different project and order more for my shawl. Or maybe order a different color ?.

This yarn will make a beautiful blanket for our niece’s baby. Colors are gorgeous—soothing and subtle.

This yarn is even more beautiful in person than in the pictures. I can't wait to knit myself a new pair of socks with it!
