Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our premium yarns and crafting supplies.
What is the best way to care for my Lion Brand yarn projects?
Care instructions vary by fiber type. Most of our acrylic yarns are machine washable and dryable, while natural fibers like wool may require hand washing and laying flat to dry. Always check the specific care icons on your yarn label for the best results.
How long will it take for my order to arrive?
Standard shipping typically takes 5-7 business days within the contiguous United States. Once your order ships, you will receive a tracking number via email to monitor your delivery's progress.
Can I return yarn if the color isn't what I expected?
Yes, we accept returns on unopened, unused yarn skeins in their original condition within 60 days of purchase. Please note that shipping costs for returns are the responsibility of the customer unless the item is defective.
What does 'Dye Lot' mean and why is it important?
A dye lot is a number identifying yarn that was dyed in the same vat at the same time. To ensure color consistency throughout your project, we recommend purchasing enough yarn of the same dye lot at one time, as slight variations can occur between batches.

Yes, Lion Brand ships to many countries worldwide. International shipping rates and delivery times are calculated at checkout based on the destination and weight of the package.
