Questions you might have
What's in the bundle?
You'll get 2 skeins of Ewe So Sporty, one in each of two contrasting colors, in the combination you choose. The pattern isn't included, and you'll need needles (US 3 and US 5, 16” circular, plus US 5 double-pointed), stitch markers, and a tapestry needle.
Where do I get the pattern?
The Arachnid Hat is designed by Tanis Gray. You can buy the pattern from TanisKnits.com or on Ravelry.
Is this project right for me?
I've rated this project Level 3. The hat is worked in the round in stranded colorwork with a large spider motif, and it's a good fit if you like a pattern that holds your hand. If you get stuck, our Knitting Knowledge tutorials and the Secret Society of Knitters community are here to help, or you can email me.
Will the colors look like the photo?
Screens vary, so a color can look a little different in person. If you're unsure about a combination, email me before you order and I'll help you choose.
Should I order extra yarn?
The bundle has the amount of yarn the pattern calls for. If you'd like to make more than one hat, it's better to order extra now. Dye lots vary from batch to batch, and I can't always match a specific lot later.
How do I care for my finished hat?
Easy! Our yarn is superwash merino, so you can machine wash your hat inside out in cool water and tumble dry on low. All of our yarns are 100% fine superwash merino wool from Australia, spun and dyed in Italy.
How soon will my order ship, and what does it cost?
I pack and ship orders within one business day, six days a week including Saturday mornings. They go out by USPS Ground Advantage from Oceanside, California, so delivery time depends on USPS and where you live. Shipping is free on US orders over $75 and $5 on smaller US orders, and you'll get a tracking email when your order is on its way.
Can I return my yarn?
Unused items in their original condition can be returned within 30 days of receiving them. Email hello@eweewe.com with your name and order number and I'll take care of you. If something arrives damaged or isn't what you ordered, let me know right away and I'll make it right.
