You might be wondering what the heck Lot-1 means when you're shoppin' for yarn on STASH online.
We've created our own lot system to make sure that you know all your yarn is coming from the same dyelot when shopping online. Pretty cool, hey?
Be sure to check all the lots to make sure you get enough yarn in the colour you need! This also means that if you run out of yarn mid sleeve, you can check your order receipt to find out which lot you bought and get another skein that matches your dyelot. Juuuuust in case you lose the ball band. ;)
Wondering how much yarn you need? Curious about safety skeins? Yarn weights? Our team is always happy to help - reach out via phone or email (questions(at)stashlounge.com)
STASH does our best to accurately represent all products and colourways - please note that dye lots often vary, and colours may appear different between devices.
