  • We are unable to wind yarn that has not been purchased from us.

Afterpay & Zippay - is there a minimum order value?

My order says it's Backorder Approved. What does this mean?

Don't worry, your order is being processed! This is simply a section in our software that helps us keep track of where your order is in our system.

If you've ordered some of the Fiddlesticks or Bellissimo yarns, you'll have seen in the description that we have loads of stock available but it's not all at our store. We have a shipment arriving at the store every couple of days to cover all your orders, but it does mean it make take a few days to be on its way to you. Your order is placed in Backorder Approved until the yarn arrives. Please be assured that we'll have your order packed and out the door as quickly as we can.

If you select Store Pick Up at checkout, please wait until you receive our text message to say your yarn is ready to be picked up.
