This was my 1st time ordering from Prosper Yarns and I have to say I did a little happy dance when my package arrived. These skeins are absolutely gorgeous such beautiful colours and just perfect for making little knitted clothing for my knitted bears. Will be ordering again, great service.
Beautiful yarn. Gorgeous colour. Fantastic meterage. Knits up beautifully too. Will definitely be buying again when a Mohair is needed for a pattern.
Beautiful yarn
Absolutely adore this yarn. Beautiful colours and feels fabulous to work with.
Had a peek at one skein and feels and looks delightful. Very much looking forward to using the contents for a special knit project

I love this yarn, both the colours and the feel of it. It is such a pleasure to knit with and to watch the colour variations evolve
Am thrilled with this wool..excited with the colours and the softness of the wool..a new experience for me. Ursula
I made two cardigans from an earlier batch, I put a fine mohair with one, and the other on its own. . I haven't yet started on the new order yet, it was a treat for my birthday

Your beautiful yarn arrived very quickly..the saturated subtly coloured yarns are just what I'm wanting..I've never had an advent calender and am looking forward to the surprises that will bring..I imagine that starts in Dec. I've already received another order ..am getting a great overall look at your types of yarn. Thank you.
Beautiful yarn and fabulous service.
Answers to Common Questions
Shipping
See our shipping page here.
Returns/Exchanges
We are unable to except returns but we can exchange unused, as new items. We offer a 'no yarn chicken policy' - buy an extra skein just in case, then exchange for new yarn for your next project if you don't need it.
Care
Some of our yarns are gentle machine wash, & some are hand wash only. Each listing will indicate which - but all yarns are dry flat.
We recommend a squeeze of lemon juice in your soak water to maintain the dye bond. We also recommend Eucalan wool wash which you can find here on our website.
Environment
We use professional acid dyes, dye to complete absorbtion, and wash any loose dye from our tools in mason jars. Once the jars are deeply coloured we use them to dye our one of a kind Mason Jar skeins. We keep our dyes out of the water system!
We participate in an international carbon neutral shipping program & and our mailer bags are compostable. We keep our packaging to a minimum, and use compostable or recyclable products whenever possible.
Social
We welcome everyone and respect individuality. We offer a safe and kind environment and do not tolerate discrimination of any kind.
Colourways
Our photographs represent our colours to the best of our abilities. Everyone's screens will interpret colours differently. If this is a concern, drop us an email or a text to discuss your needs.
We dye with artistic intention and attitude. Repeating each colourway with 'match the photo' exact precision isn't in our wheelhouse. We do have detailed recipes but use measuring spoons instead of jewellers scales.
Dyes vary, expecially since Covid forever changed shipping logistics. Even though we buy the same colours from the same vendor - the colour may be different, and this is out of our control.
For these reasons we always suggest you double check the quantity of yarn needed for your project.
