Oneofakindyarns is sold via Oneofakindyarns.co.za during shop updates only. The shop remains empty between updates.

Shop update dates are announced here on the website homepage and on Facebook and Instagram a few days in advance. I work from home and I try to keep a balance, once a collection of colourways is complete to my artistic feel the shop is then updated.

When I add a new collection to the website, I post about it on Instagram and Facebook the yarn is then sold first-come-first-serve.

Oneofakindyarns is a small home based business, the amount of admin that goes with each skein are done by one person so does the dye, wash, winding, labeling and photography of each skein one person handling everything about it. Skeins are not mass produced in a factory.

Skeins are only reserved once an order was successfully checked out and paid for. While in the cart, the stock can sell out. In this case, it will not be possible to check out an order until the sold out items were removed from the cart.

Oneofakindyarns ships worldwide via DHL door-to-door couriers, a reliable service with comprehensive online tracking. Shipping within South Africa is via Aramex.

Certain addresses to countries where DHL have less coverage (especially to Australia, New Zealand, Iceland, Japan) or addresses in outlaying areas will attract a “remote area surcharge” of USD28.

Yes, I do combine multiple orders into one parcel when possible and the refund if any are then communicated between me and the client.

I do not have a brick and mortar shop, the yarn is sold via the website at shop updates only. I do not take pre-orders or custom orders.

No, unfortunately the way I create the yarn is a non repeatable process so there’s not a fixed recipe and that makes it difficult to put out any pre-orders

Because Oneofakindyarns are so unique the collection for each shop update varies, which unfolds as the artistic inspiration comes and our colorways differ quite a lot from batch to batch!
