Q: How soon will I receive my order?
A: All in stock items ship within 24-48 hrs of purchase. Stock Colorways, Past Club Colorways, and Semi Solid Colors are dyed to order, and usually ship within 4-7 business days of purchase. If you need an item quickly, please email Ginny at FatCatKnits@gmail.com.

Q: How can I view the status of my order?
A: Go to the Customer Service, Account Information page. This page lists all your orders. Click the date of the order whose status you wish to view.

Q: What are your shipping costs?
A: You can view an estimate of shipping costs by viewing your cart. However, final shipping costs will be displayed on the Invoice you see before confirming your order.

Q: I live in (insert your country here), and I want to avoid VAT fees. Will you mark down the value on the customs lable?
No. The law requires that the customs label is notated with the actual value of your order. Ginny is happy to break up orders to help minimize VAT charges- email her at FatCatKnits@gmail.com to discuss the best way to handle this.

Q: Can I request a custom dye job?
A: Custom dye orders are welcome, and encouraged! Please allow 2-3 weeks for fulfillment of your custom request.  Minimum purchase for custom dye orders is 4 oz per colorway, but you can request in increments of 2 oz, starting with a minimum of 4 oz. I often dye in batches of 4-5 rovings per colorway, so extras may be placed for sale in the shop. To request a custom colorway, please email Ginny at FatCatKnits@gmail.com.

A: Email Ginny at FatCatKnits@gmail.com for fiber availability and pricing.

Q: I saw a colorway on the internet that is not on the website, can I get it?
