Loch Ness Monster – Variegated – Dark Green, Olive, Ochre

Affectionately known as Nessie, is a creature in Scottish folklore that is said to inhabit Loch Ness in the Scottish Highlands. It is often described as large, long necked, and with one or more humps protruding from the water. Popular interest and belief in the creature have varied since it was brought to worldwide attention in 1933. Evidence of its existence is subjective, with several disputed photographs and sonar readings. The scientific community explains alleged sightings of the Loch Ness Monster as hoaxes, wishful thinking, and the misidentification of mundane objects.

The Inverness Courier in 2017 published excerpts from the Campbell article, which had been titled "Strange Spectacle in Loch Ness".

"The creature disported itself, rolling and plunging for fully a minute, its body resembling that of a whale, and the water cascading and churning like a simmering cauldron. Soon, however, it disappeared in a boiling mass of foam. Both onlookers confessed that there was something uncanny about the whole thing, for they realized that here was no ordinary denizen of the depths, because, apart from its enormous size, the beast, in taking the final plunge, sent out waves that were big enough to have been caused by a passing steamer."

Loch Ness Monster will be available to ship on select bases, other weights may be available as a special order. Multiple skein orders may be dyed-to-order ensuring a proper dye match.

Shipping & Returns

Where is my yarn?
If you have not received a shipping confirmation, please check your spam folder to make sure it wasn’t marked as spam. If it has been more than 10 business days from when you received your shipping confirmation, please email your order number and a request to check on the status of your order to info@smwfiberfabrics.com.
  
Why does my yarn look different from the photo?
Photos on the product listings are examples of the colorway you will receive.  I try to include different bases as the different fiber contents can take the dye differently.  I use the same dye formulations when reproducing colorways, but due to the hand dyed nature and the difference in computer screens, the product you receive my look slightly different than the original photo.  The appearance of the colorway and the saturation may differ from time to time, which adds to the uniqueness of the yarn.  Multiple skein orders will always be dyed together to help ensure consistency within ordered colorways.
  
My order is wrong? What should I do? 
Contact me via the form on the website. I am sorry but occasionally I could mix-up skeins when packing orders, but I will always make it right.
 
 

RETURNS & EXCHANGES

Please be aware when placing your order that skeins and fibers are hand dyed, and natural variations in color should be expected.  Slight differences in colorways or light spots may occur and these are not reasons for return. 
 
If you have a problem with your order, please contact me within 14 days of receipt.  I put a lot of time into producing quality products and fulfilling orders.

Returns or refunds will not be issued for shipments made to incorrect addresses or for shipping charges.
 
All yarn is shipped with the original ties on each skein. Returns are not accepted on 'tangled' yarn. It is the responsibility of the customer to correctly transition their yarn from a skein to cake/ball prior to knitting. 
 
Returns are not accepted on custom ordered yarn or one of a kind yarn. Exceptions include incorrect orders or damaged items.
