Zen String Fiber Euphoria

All yarn and fiber is on sale now. Domestic shipping is free, as always!

About the artist:

My evolution into the Fiber Arts started as a small child enchanted by color. I still marvel in the hues of nature, and the ability of color to transcend all communication barriers. Prior to dyeing yarns and fibers, I dyed textiles. Nothing white has ever been safe with me!

Angelina's other artistic interests include: knitting, spinning, photography, cooking, organic gardening, sewing, pottery, and graphic arts. There is always a new skill on the horizon, it's the only way I keep myself entertained and challenged.

A word about animal health and fiber choices:

European fleeces are my first choice always. Animal care wellness practices and standards are leaps and bounds ahead of "standard" world wide. We actively boycott products who do not adhere to the most basic tenets of caring for living creatures: health, compassion, and comfort.

Zen String remains committed to whole planet healing. It is for this reason we choose natural fibers, environmentally responsible and sustainable practices, and promote peace and wellness in all personal and business pursuits. We use only Earth-friendly products in production of yarns and fibers including biodegradable organic soaps. We recycle and reuse boxes and shipping materials. Should you prefer to receive your yarns unwrapped, simply let us know in the comments section.

The most precious gift is the present. Enjoy it.

I sincerely appreciate you stopping by Zen String.
Blessings of love and unity~

Angelina and the whole Zen Crew

Can I order from the wholesale area? TOP

If you are not a retailer, please do not order in this area. Feel free to browse the colorways, and even put in a request for one you've been eyeing! I try to accomodate all requests for colorways, and will put these in the next store stocking.

Zen String does not fill retail custom dyed orders at this time. I dye in large batches, and small orders often do not fit into these batches. Again, you are *always* welcome to email me personally to request a colorway to be stocked.

How long will it take my order to arrive? TOP

For in stock products, we ship at minimum twice weekly. If you have purchased a down-loadable pattern, it will be emailed to you within hours of purchase.

If you should require expedited shipping, please let me know. We are happy to accommodate Priority shipping for a small added amount.

What is your return policy? TOP

Returns are generally unaccepted. I am happy to provide high quality photographs for approval prior to shipping on custom dyed yarns. I am also glad to answer any questions you may have about particular fibers and colorways before purchase. Zen String is committed to complete customer satisfaction.

As all computer monitors vary, no returns will be accepted for display discrepancies.

Why can't I order Bart & Louise? What's an exclusive colorway? TOP

We have several requests weekly for our retailers' exclusive colorways. These special colorways are not available for sale through Zen String. If you would like these colorways, feel free to email the store they were created for! We work with a great bunch of fabulously helpful yarn experts, who would be happy to help you.

What is "kettle dyeing"? TOP

Kettle dyeing, is ultimately dyeing fibers/yarns in one container. The result is a bit different from traditional hand painting. This is my personal favorite method, and also the most unpredictable. The finished garment moves through colors softly, with little to no "pooling" (when colors pattern in large shapes together).

Please remember that there are no dyelots, and no 2 skeins will be identical. This is the serendipitous nature of hand dyeing. If there is a great difference in your yarns, please alternate skeins while crafting. Ordering all the yarn you will need for your project will greatly improve the variations between skeins.

Do you dye custom colorways? TOP

Sure! Any excuse to try out new colorways, right!? There is a 2 skein minimum for custom colorways.

Please, do not ask me to duplicate another dye artists' work. I will happily create colorways based on your descriptions and pictures for inspiration.

Do you offer wholesale to yarn stores? TOP

Zen String is actively seeking brick and mortar stores! We are no longer accepting web store vendors at this time.

If you own a yarn store, please contact us through the 'wholesale' link for more information.

*Zen String does not supply co-ops or group buys at wholesale discount*

Do you accept unsolicited patterns for publication? TOP

Yes!! We are continually looking for pattern designers of original patterns using Zen String yarns and fibers. We prefer unique designs, and are not limited to knit wear!

If you are a designer interested in working with us, please contact us for more information.
