FAQ
I love the name Apple Yarns, how did you come up with it?
The name was easy. Apples represent the great state of Washington and my Grandma made the best apple pies. Enjoy my Grandma's original Apple Pie recipe from 1942.

Will you wind my yarns?

I ordered a product that is listed as "Drop Ship" - what does this mean?
Drop Shipping is a method of remote sales where the seller has a product sent to the customer directly from the supplier instead of coming from the seller's location. Using Drop Shipping allows Apple Yarns to provide more options and products for our customers than we would be able to keep in our limited inventory. Since these products do not come through the Apple Yarns shop, we are unable to wind the yarns before you receive them. However, local customers are always welcome to come in and have them wound after receiving a Drop Ship order.

How do I best work with hand dyed yarns?
Hand-dyed yarns are special; no two skeins are the same. Please order enough yarn to complete your project. If you order more than one skein we will select colors that are the most similar for you. Tip; work from two balls of yarn at once, alternating a few rows from each ball, to help blend color differences from one skein to the next. This can be done for the entire project but we find transitioning just at the end of a skein works fine, about 8 rows..
