Delivery

How we pack:
1. Products are kept in a place only accessed by the packer.
2. the packing environment is washed down with disinfectant prior to packing 
3. yarn is selected and wrapped & packed with tissue paper 
4. hand sanitiser is used inbetween parcels and there is never eating or drinking when packing. 
5. All incoming parcels & letters are being left in quarantine for 72 hours and disinfected prior to opening.
As the owner of the company is in the highest risk group our level of “caution” is perhaps higher than average.

Royal Mail is slow in some areas, wearrange collection of mail at least every other day more often or not daily, this means there may be a small delay compared to our normal super speedy service and we are of course reliant on Royal Mail to then deliver to you.

Because of this if you are concerned that your parcel may have got lost please wait ten working days to get in touch, after you receive a delivery notification.
