Mountain Colors Kits come attractively bundled and color coordinated from the same dye lots. All Hand Painted Yarns can vary from dye lot to dye lot. Be certain to order the amount of yarn you will need for your intended project. Most orders for any of Mountain Colors' Yarn Styles, Colors, and Kits are Dyed-to-Order and are drop-shipped directly from Mountain Colors in Montana. Please allow from 4 to 6 weeks for creation of the yarns you request plus shipping time. Most orders will not take this long. This guarantees matching dye lots so you know you'll get exactly what you want. Even with matched dye lots hand painted yarns can vary from skein to skein, if noticeable, knit alternatively from 2 skeins. Unleash your creativity to mix and match textures and colors! These exceptional yarns are worth the short wait!

Mountain Colors will happily create Kits made-to-order for sizes larger than average sizes given in the patterns!
