YARN PRESENTATION : our standard presentation for all yarn is in hank (or skein) form. However we can wind them into balls for you for a small extra charge of $2 per hank (except full 100 gm hanks of "Lacie Gracie" because of it's greater length where the charge is $5.00). However we do have ball winders on hand at Precious Purl if you wish to wind your own at no extra charge.

NOW on ETSY - yes we now have a small presence on ETSY - the website for sellers of hand made, hand dyed goods. We will be adding more goods to our store as soon as possible. If you would like to shop in this way , please take a look at www.etsy.com/shop/LaraDowns
