Terms and Shipping Costs
We endeavour to make our prices and shipping rates as low as possible together with no minimum order quantities (except for undyed yarns – 5kg total) so that retailers and dyers do not have to hold excess stock. Details are outlined below but if you have any further questions please get in touch.
Prices
We wholesale Undyed Yarns, Manos Del Uruguay and Addi needles to retailers, hand dyers and other businesses. We do not sell directly to the public but you can buy our products from one of our wonderful stockists – see stockist page for each brand.
If you would like wholesale prices for any of our products, please do not hesitate to email us here. Don’t forget to tell us which of our yarns or needles you would like prices for!
