Under normal circumstances, every effort is made to ship your item within three business days, Monday through Friday. Should an unforeseen circumstance occur (we are located in Florida; hurricanes CAN happen) that would extend this period for an unusually long period of time, we will contact you to confirm you still wish to have your order sent to you.

Before finalizing your purchase, please make sure that you have entered your shipping address accurately. You will be responsible for any charges for orders that must be resent due to inaccurate or incomplete addresses; obviously we are responsible for any errors we make.

We are responsible for your purchase until it reaches the Post Office. Once the package is turned over to the USPS it is no longer in our control.  Shipping is a service you purchase from USPS along with your order from us, so any shipping issues must be handled by USPS.  Ownership of packages turned over to USPS transfers to the buyer.  We are not responsible for lost, held, damaged or stolen packages. We are not responsible for delivery errors via carrier, or incorrect shipping information.

You will have 3 opportunities to download your pattern.

• Your invoice (which pops up immediately after you make a purchase) includes a download link.
• Immediately thereafter you will be emailed a purchase confirmation which includes a second download link. If you don’t see it please check your junk or spam box.
• If you have registered for an account on our website, your pattern will be stored in your personal library. You may log in and access all the patterns you have purchased from us at any time by clicking on the “downloads” section of your dashboard.

In order for our coupons to be applied to your order, you must begin by entering the correct code, and then clicking the “apply coupon” button prior to going to checkout.

You will always be able to see the coupon amount applied if you have completed all the steps correctly. We recommend that you do not checkout if you do not see the discounted price, as we have no way to apply coupons retroactively.

There are many reasons this may have occurred. First, computer monitors display colors differently so the yarn may have appeared different on your screen than it does in person. While this difference is usually fairly minimal, sometimes it can be more pronounced. Secondly, part of the beauty and charm of yarn is the variation and nuance. Even yarn dyed in the same batch or dye bath can have subtle or not-so-subtle differences. This is part of the personality of artisan hand-dyed yarn and is usually treasured.  I hope you will love the yarn you ordered.  If you are unhappy, you may contact us with 21 days of your order and return it (unused), at your own expense (see above).

We dye our yarn with professional grade dyes, and rinse repeatedly to avoid any bleeding later. However, on occasion a particularly pigmented yarn can sometimes bleed a little, especially in warm water. We recommend hand washing all of your handmade items in cold water with a little Be So Clean soap and laying flat to dry.

Is it our desire that you be 100% satisfied with your purchase from the Kristin Omdahl Company. Please email our customer support team at customerservice@kristinomdahl.com with any questions or concerns you may have. 

All yarn is manufactured from long fibers that are twisted together, spun and wound onto cones. From there it can go through a variety of manufacturing steps before it becomes a hank, skein, or center pull ball of yarn. It is impossible to make an endless thread with no joins. Manufacturers include joined sections in their finished products, in an effort to keep costs down. It is not uncommon to find as many as 2 or 3 joins in a hank, skein or center pull ball of yarn. You may untie the knot and join in your preferred joining method.

No! Don’t cut it! And don’t pull it hard, don’t yank it. Regardless of the type of yarn you have purchased, where you have purchased it, how it is wound (unless a ball), or how much you have paid, you will sooner or later encounter the “yarn barf”. or “yarn pile” or “yarn mess” when you work with yarn.

Some yarns are more likely to tangle than others – very large yardage, yarns with lots of fibers (mohair, wool). Thinner yarns tangle. Multiple ply yarns tangle. But your basic acrylic big box store yarns do exactly the same thing. It is unavoidable.

So, how to proceed? Gently try to shake and separate the strands. You may want to use a yarn needle to help poke them apart. Don’t pull hard, that will make the situation worse. Work slowly and gently, a little bit at a time. Soon you will be ready to get back to working on your project.
