Q. What type of wool will you use to knit my beanie?

A. Grannies, Inc. only use 100% pure wool yarn. Wool is comfortable to wear in both warm and cool climates. This is because wool is an absorbent fiber. When the air is cool and damp, wool absorbs moisture and keeps a layer of dry insulating air next to the skin. When it is warm, that same absorbtion capacity takes up perspiration and keeps insulating dry air next to the skin, making the body's natural cooling system work better.

Q. I'm allergic to pure wool. Can I have my beanie knit using an alternative type of yarn?

A. We understand that 100% pure wool is not for everyone so we will always try to satisfy our customers requests for alternatives. If you would like us to source a specific type of wool to replicate one of our products in then please do get in touch.

Q. How do I wash my beanie?

A. Since we use high quality 100% wool yarn our beanies are hand wash only. Hand wash them in warm water and lay them out flat to dry.

Q. What if I'm not happy with the finished product? Can I return the beanie?

A. Due to the nature of the bespoke service, orders cannot be cancelled or returned once they have been accepted with an Order Acceptance. That said, if you are really unhappy with your finished product then please contact us and we'll see what we can do.

Q. Can you resize my beanie if it doesn't fit?

A. Unfortunately we cannot resize any beanie once they have been hand-made. We have worked hard to make sure our patterns fit the head sizes described on our size info page so please make sure you measure your head accurately before ordering to ensure you receive the correct fit.

Q. How do I become one of your knitting grannies?

A. At the moment we are not recruiting new knitters however we will be expanding in the future so if you would like to be considered please send us an email to [email protected] with your contact details. We will put them on file and contact you when we are in need of more knitters.
