Don't let that rude Frenchman's taunts keep you from is awesome yarn! This colorway is speckled dyed. It's a fun method where dry dye powder is applied directly to wet yarn. The size of the sections will vary based on the colorway. Many have large sections of undyed yarn. This means that most speckle dyed yarn will give you pops of color throughout your project.

Fairy Tonic

Colorway Story This colorway is tie-dyed. This means the colors are applied in layers, with different parts of the yarn restricted in each layer so it doesn't absorb the dye. The color repeats in tie-dyeing are short and more random and will vary throughout the hank of yarn and within the same dye lot. What this means for your projects is there are more colors because of the overlapping as the dye is applied and they are less likely to pool. This colorway is speckled dyed.

Fairy Tale Yarn Co yarns are tie-dyed, speckle-dyed, or a combination of the 2. All are dyed by hand. This means that every hank is unique. It’s always best to order all the yarn in a colorway that you need at the same time to ensure they are in the same dye lot. Alternating hanks of yarn will give you the evenest distribution of color.  All yarn is rinsed in very warm water to ensure it does not bleed. Even with this, your yarn may still bleed. This can be because of the difference in water or from the wool wash. It is best to test the yarn (such as when you are swatching) before using multiple colorways together. If your yarn does bleed simply run it under cool to lukewarm water until the water is clear.

If you need multiple yarns for a project, it is highly recommended that you purchase them at the same time so that they can come from the same dye lot. Some of the brighter colors can bleed, even though they have been rinsed multiple times, if you notice this run under cold water until water is clear.
