Neon Heart Club // JULY // cut off 26/07/26
£4.75
Regular price £4.25This listing is for the monthly surprise Neon Heart Club. This month, I've decided to pop it on sale as a thank you to everyone who likes to get involved in it, for supporting my little business!
The colourway will be a surprise until you receive it. A few of the previous colourways which were born of the Club over the years are shown for representative purposes (most are available on dyed to order, you can see the whole Neon Hearts collection here). The first yarn pic is of Delightsome which was June’s club colourway.
For those who haven't been part of a Neon Heart Club before (also previously called the 'Surprise, Bert Club') - I dye a base first, then add Neon Heart speckles over the top (either in full coverage, or in the more subtle style of Little Neon Heart) to create lots of new colours where the dyes mix. The bases could be:
- a couple of colours in a variegated liquid dye mix, examples: Neon Monet, This Yarn Is Fun, or Interstellar;
- a tonal/semi-solid, examples: Mermaid Tears, Parma Violets, or Silver Neon Heart;
- a base of speckles in other dyes, example: Dark Neon Heart;
- a mix of variegated and some speckles, examples: Wild Power, Nebula, or Wildflower Meadow.
Some of my current Neon Heart variants available on dyed to order are micro-striping/colour-pooling (where one half of the skein is a semi-solid, and the other half is Neon Heart speckles, e.g. It's A Quest! or Charybdis) - I won't be doing anything like this for the Club, as I know these kind of colourways aren't for everyone!
As noted in the listing title, this surprise colourway will be available to preorder until Sunday 21st June, after which I will dye all of the yarn up and get it on its way to you (hopefully to be shipped by the end of June - I'll send you email updates if I'm having any issues). If you order anything else alongside this, please note it will be sent at the same time as this colourway.
Note: this is not a recurring subscription; I’ll be updating the listing each month with the new cut-off and delivery dates, so if you want it monthly you just need to pop back each month when I tell you it’s ready to order by email or social media!

tldr; dyed to order lead times are 2-3 weeks, and fully ready to ship orders should be packed up within a week.
Order processing times (delivery cost info below, scroll down)
I am a neurodivergent sole trader working alongside dynamic chronic health conditions - I've been running this business since 2017, fulfilling thousands of orders in that time, and I do manage everything well despite occasional health setbacks 🥳 Sometimes chronic fatigue flare ups may slow me down a bit, so please extend me a little grace to enable me to pace myself 🩷
I will of course email you if I'm having difficulties or if I've had a large volume of orders to work through which has increased processing times, but if you're unsure what's happening with your order at any time, please do just email me to ask 🤗
Please also check your junk folder for any shipping confirmation before getting in touch about an overdue order, as some email providers like to put me there.
Current lead times
The current lead time for shipping yarn which is Dyed To Order is 2-4 weeks (unless a more specific preorder date was stated on the product listing).
Anything you purchase which is Ready To Ship will usually be packed up within a week (I try to pack and post them within a few days, but it may take longer if I have high order volumes, if I'm on holiday when you order, or if you order right before the weekend this will also extend your lead time, as I don't work on weekends!).
If your order includes any DTO, the whole order will be shipped when the dyed yarn is completed.
Pattern purchases
After ordering, you will receive the PDF via email manually from me. You must ensure the email address you are using is valid as I will be using it to send you the PDF. I will be emailing them at least once a day. Please bear in mind that if you're an international customer with a time difference, I won't be able to email your pattern until I'm awake and out of bed!
Upcoming time off which may impact orders
Nothing currently planned that would affect my lead times.
Customs duties
USA customers: duties are now included and paid up front on despatch of your order (excluding Gift Vouchers and digital patterns). I am using PDDP (Postal Delivery Duties Paid) with Royal Mail. You will not incur any further charges when the parcel reaches the USA - all tariff duties will have been paid up front. Prices will change in line with any increases or decreases in tariffs applied by your government.
All other international customers: tariffs/duties are not included - you are responsible for paying all customs duties and fees to your government on receipt of Goods. You may be charged duties by your country's customs authorities before the parcel will be released to you, according to the de minimis goods value threshold in your country. I am not in control of this, or of the admin fees which may be charged on top of the duties. Please take this into account when ordering, thank you!
(I am unable to offer PDDP to other countries I ship to at present, but if Royal Mail introduce it for your country, I will update the info here.)
All goods are made in UK unless stated otherwise - this only applies to products I have bought in from other creatives, for bundles or Advents for example.
Delivery information by region
UK orders (exc. Northern Ireland)
UK parcel P&P is currently £5.00 on orders up to £49.99, free postage applies for UK orders over £50. All are sent tracked with Royal Mail.
Large orders may be split into multiple parcels to allow me to find the best insurance-cover-to-postage-cost ratio for the value of your Goods (sometimes a single parcel with Special Delivery is the best way though, so multiple parcels won’t always be the case). I will email you in advance if I’m considering doing this for your order.
Unfortunately I am unable to ship to Northern Ireland due to GPSR regulations which implicate NI (due to Brexit) - many apologies to my NI customers.
Europe - no shipping available
I haven't shipped to Europe for a few years for various reasons since Brexit, and this is now highly unlikely to start up again in future due to the GPSR regulations - please accept my sincere apologies.
International orders excl. Europe
Large orders may be split into multiple parcels to allow me to have enough insurance cover on them through Royal Mail. All parcels are sent tracked with Royal Mail.
Below is a table of postage costs for all international customers based on the weight of your order.
| Order weight | P&P cost |
| 0g - 250g | £12.00 |
| 251g - 500g | £14.00 |
| 501g - 750g | £16.00 |
| 751g - 1kg | £18.00 |
| 1001g - 2kg | £20.00 |

Care instructions
I would always recommend hand-washing in cool water to keep your finished items in good condition for as long as possible, though with any Superwash yarn you can of course pop it into the washing machine if required (I have washed my socks on occasion in the washing machine, they're still looking good colour-wise, but I only do it maybe once or twice a year, doing hand-washes for the most part).
Bleeding and crocking
Before we begin, bleeding and crocking are totally normal (though don't necessarily happen with every colourway or every skein) and can occur with both hand dyed and commercially dyed yarns. They happen when loose dye particles which couldn't heat set into the already-saturated yarn come out in water (bleeding), or onto your hands as you're working with it (crocking).
I rinse as many excess dye particles out of my yarn after it has finished the heat setting process as I can, but due to the way some dye particles behave, there could always be some left behind that will release during the lifetime of the yarn. They may not always come out in that first rinse, despite thorough rinsing before it leaves me and gets to you ❤️
Bleeding: I don't usually encounter any bleeding when I block my yarn swatches, or any finished objects I actually complete in my yarn (using a light amount of Soak, always in cold water), but due to the nature and behaviour of some dyes, and other variables such as the hardness of your water compared to mine, you might find some bleeding may occur when soaking.
You can use a colour-catcher when you are soaking your finished item to try to catch loose dye particles which may bleed out of the yarn.
Crocking: I also don't usually encounter any crocking, but this is said to vary for each crocheter/knitter as per the pH on your hands (and if you've recently used any hand cream). Any dye transferred onto your hands while working with any yarn will wash off with soap.
Sheep welfare
The yarn wholesalers I use are committed to sourcing all of their wool from farms which comply with high animal welfare standards.
My main yarn base - BFL, Bluefaced Leicester - is a British breed of sheep and is all sourced from individual farms in the UK by the British Wool Marketing Board, and graded to ensure its high quality.
Any Merino I use is certified as mulesing free, mainly from Australia, and they source the remainder from South America and South Africa where mulesing is not practiced. Their Kid Mohair is sourced from South Africa, and Alpaca is from Peru from small family owned smallholdings.
Superwash
The Superwash yarns I use are treated using the Hercosett process, and my wholesalers only use reputable companies to superwash their fibres, who hold ISO14001 accreditation and/or engage in best practice with regard to environmental performance and waste water treatment and re-use.
If you have any further questions, don't hesitate to get in touch using the Contact form.
