I am happy to do custom orders!
Due to the amount of custom orders, all requests must be submitted through the "Contact" option at the top of this site. I will not be able to accept custom requests through Ravelry, Instagram, or any means of communication. I wouldn't want an order to get lost or forgotten.Please include:
Your name, your request, and the base you would like it on.Once these details are confirmed, I will direct you to purchase a preorder for that base, and your order will ship in 1-2 weeks or less.

Will I be charged duties or taxes?
These charges are designated by the country's government and we have no control over them. The buyer is responsible should these charges arise.
Please note that all purchases made within Canada will be charged 5% GST (Government Sales Tax)

What is a Monthly Theme?
There is a new theme designated for every month that usually correlates with a release date for a movie, book, show, ect.
For each week of that month a new colourway will be released as a preorder. Each colourway follows the monthly themes and comes with a themed stitch marker from The Cotswold Knitter.
Colourways are only available for one week. After that time, the yarn will be dyed and shipped out asap. The colourway will go into hibernation for 6 months and the stitch marker will not be available for 3 months. The yarn and marker will never be available together again.
Schedule:
1-7 Week One
8-14 Week Two
15-21 Week Three
22-28 Week FourFor a list of all the themes of the year, please go to the PenguinSoup Ravelry group:
