How to Shop the Drop
Set an Alarm
With nearly 10,000 people on our text list and a limit of 12 texts per second, it takes about 20 minutes to notify everyone—plus some messages get caught in spam.
Setting an alarm for 5 to 10 minutes before drop guarantees you're ready to browse and buy right at 4:00. We're working to speed up our texting, but an alarm is a great workaround for now.
Place multiple orders
Many regulars place up to 5 separate orders weekly, buying one colorway at a time to "lock in" favorites first—since items in your cart aren't reserved.
Don't worry about shipping costs: we always combine your orders and refund any excess shipping you paid. It's currently done manually, but we hope to automate it in the future.
Setup Shop Pay
This may be the most important tip, since Shop Pay saves your payment info ahead of time for a one-click checkout with no confirmation codes.

Your Questions Answered:
Every Sunday at 4pm CST we release a limited batch of freshly dyed skeins. Thousands of makers come to watch the drop and pick up any yarn they want for their stash.
Once they're gone, they're gone until the next drop. Every week's colors are different, and not all colorways return, so be sure to lock in when you see something you like. For tips on how to shop the drop, click here.
At the moment we only ship in the USA. We plan on expanding internationally in the future, though we do not have a specific timeline for that yet.
Great news! Our hand dyed merino wool is absolutely wonderful for crochet! Merino is one of the most versatile fibers out there, and it works beautifully with a hook just as much as it does with needles.
Its natural softness and slight elasticity make it a dream to work with stitch by stitch, and the drape you get from crocheted merino is truly something special. whether you're making a cozy blanket, a delicate shawl, or anything else, you can rest assured that this yarn will be wonderful to work with!
That depends! Many of our colorways are on rotation, meaning they are released 2-3 times per year. Some recipes have been retired due to dye inconsistencies, recipe complications, or if they weren't popular. Retired colorways will not come back, but might be reworked in the future under a different name.
It depends on the weight! Here's a quick breakdown:
- Fingering Weight — 80% Merino Wool, 20% Nylon
- DK & Bulky — 100% Merino Wool
The nylon in our fingering weight isn't an accident — it adds durability and stitch definition, making it especially great for projects that see a lot of wear, like socks!
All of our base yarns are sourced from Wool2Dye4, and if you'd like to dig into the nitty gritty details, you can find links to the exact bases we use on our Yarn Specs page.
Absolutely. Ethical sourcing is something we feel very strongly about. All of our yarn bases come from Wool2Dye4, who share our commitment to responsible and humane practices. That means no mulesing, ever.
