Disputes
AC Wood take great care to ensure that all aspects of any sale and products are met with the highest standards. If you are unhappy with any aspect of our products and services please do not hesitate to contact us by email or in writing to the above address. This does not affect your statutory rights.
Please note that these are photographic represenations and despite our best efforts shades may appear slightly different to the actual yarn.
NB:- Please note that all knitting terms such as DK, Aran, 4ply. Lace etc are not absolute technical specifications and thus are not fixed criteria.
Also please note that whilst we produce these yarns to given terms using the established technical yarn counts for these, different fibres will give rise to different results in knitting terms.
We therefore also can specify the industrial yarn count and length as alternate guide on request
Please also note that we do not tag individual hanks placed into packs of five
Making A Purchase
Making a purchase could not be easier. Just browse our store, and add any items that you wish to buy into the shopping cart. After you have finished your selection, click on 'Checkout' and you will be asked for a few details that we need to be able to complete the order.
We accept card payments. If you are shopping from North America or anywhere else, place your order and your card company will convert the transaction to US Dollars or your own currency.
When confirmation of your order is received, this is to indicate that we have received your order. It does not indicate that a contract exists between us. We will indicate acceptance of your order, and hence a contract between us, when we send you an invoice. We have included this term to protect us in the case that a mistake has been made in pricing, we have inadvertently under-priced goods, or we are no longer able to supply a particular product for some reason. In the case of a change of price, we will always contact you first to ensure that the price is acceptable.
Shipping And Handling
Delivery Schedule
Your orders are despatched right away. We will normally send your order to you on the same or next working day. International orders are generally delivered within 5-7 days.
You must inform us within two working days if the goods are lost or damaged in transit so that we can make a prompt claim against the delivery company and correct the problem. Please quote your order number in all correspondence.
You agree that proof of delivery supplied by our delivery company is sufficient evidence to establish that goods have been received.
Tax Charges
For orders made from the UK, 20% VAT is added. All other orders are VAT free.
Credit Card Security
Credit Card transactions are undertaken through paypal
Guarantee
We will refund any item within 30 days provided the goods are in their original state
Knots in Yarn
The spinning, twisting and reeling of yarn are distinct steps in the production of a hank of yarn and the joining of individual lengths of yarn is required during each step. Most of the joins are spliced and are usually unnoticable, however, occasionally the splice may appear as a bump or fuzzy section in the yarn (particularly on heavier weight yarns. On some occasions, a knot is used to join the ends of yarn. Even with today's advanced spinning machinery, splice bumps and knots in the yarn cannot be entirely avoided. Up to three bumps/knots in a hank lie within the tolerance specifications used by most commercial suppliers. Our experience with our yarn shows far fewer noticeable joins than this. If you receive a hank with multiple knots or bumps please let us know.
Weights and Lengths
Please note that we try to reach as near to the stated weights and lengths as is possible and work to a commercial tolerance of +/- 5% based on conditioned weight of 18.25% moisture
It is not possible to guarantee every hank or cone to be exact and thus we try to work within the above tolerances. If you are unhappy with either a weight or a length issue on any of our yarns please contact us at info@yarnundyed.com
Yarn Care - After Sales
As our yarns are made mainly from natural materials and sold in their undyed state we would recommend that any garment directly knitted is hand washed or machine washed on a wool cycle at no more than 30 degrees and allowed to dry on a flat surface.
This includes yarns marked as superwash, whilst this process will improve the wash ability it is not a process that can eliminate milling or shrinkage usually brought on by washing in higher temperatures or by tumble drying.
An alternative is to dry clean and we suggest that you speak to the dry cleaning professional about the composition of any garment before doing so.
We cannot advise on suitable dye stuffs as they differ in terms of use and application. AC Wood cannot take responsibility for any dye or washing process subsequent to purchase

We will only use your personal data when the law allows us to. Most commonly, we will use your personal data in the following circumstances :
1. where we need to perform the contract we are about to enter into or have entered into with you;
2. where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (as further explained above) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests; or
3. where we need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation.
We consider that the above purposes for which we use your personal information do not rely on consent as a legal basis for processing your personal data.
If you fail to provide personal information
If you do not provide certain information when requested, we may not be able to perform the contract we have entered into with you (such as supplying goods or services to fulfill a particular transaction), or we may be prevented from complying with our legal obligations (such as compliance with taxation or duty requirements).
Change of purpose
We will only use your personal information for the purposes for which we collected it, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose. If we need to use your personal information for an unrelated purpose, we will notify you and we will explain the legal basis which allows us to do so.
Please note that we may process your personal information without your knowledge or consent, in compliance with the above rules, where this is required or permitted by law.

We only share your personal information with third parties as specified above and only to the extent as required in the provision of the services provided to Yarnundyed by third parties or as required by law.
We require third parties to respect the security of your personal information and to treat it in accordance with the law. All our third-party service providers are required to take appropriate security measures to protect your personal information in line with the GDPR. We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes.
If we are required to transfer your personal data out of the European Economic Area, we will only transfer such data to countries that are deemed to provide a similar degree of protection.
5. DATA SECURITY
We have put in place appropriate measures to protect the security of your personal information.
Third parties will only process your personal information where they have agreed to treat the personal information confidentially and to keep it secure.
We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your personal information from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your personal information to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to access it. They will only process your personal information on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected data security breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected breach where we are legally required to do so.
6. DATA RETENTION
How long will you use my information for?
We will only retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements. In general, most of the personal data we hold is associated with transactions undertaken with Yarnundyed and is required under tax law to be held for a minimum period of six years but may be held for longer periods until destruction is arranged.
7. YOUR RIGHTS IN RELATION TO YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
Your duty to inform us of changes
It is important that the personal information we hold about you is accurate and current. Please keep us informed if your personal information changes during your relationship with us.
Your rights in connection with your personal information
Under certain circumstances, under the GDPR, you have the right to:
" Request access to your personal information (commonly known as a "data subject access request"). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal information we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
" Request correction of the personal information that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate information we hold about you corrected.
" Request erasure of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal information in circumstances where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal information where you have exercised your right to object to processing (see below).
" Object to processing of your personal information where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal information for direct marketing purposes.
" Request the restriction of processing of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of personal information about you, for example if you want us to establish its accuracy or the reason for processing it.
" Request the transfer of your personal information to another party.
If you want to review, verify, correct or request erasure of your personal information, object to the processing of your personal data, or request that we transfer a copy of your personal information to another party, please contact us.
No fee usually required
You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal information (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request for access is clearly unfounded or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with the request in such circumstances.
What we may need from you
We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access the information (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is another appropriate security measure to ensure that personal information is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it.
Your right to withdraw consent
In the limited circumstances where you may have provided your consent to the collection, processing and transfer of your personal information for a specific purpose, you have the right to withdraw your consent for that specific processing at any time. To withdraw your consent, please contact us. Once we have received notification that you have withdrawn your consent, we will no longer process your information for the purpose or purposes you originally agreed to, unless we have another legitimate basis for doing so in law.
Returns Policy
Your rights to return goods are protected under the EU Distance Selling Directive.
Any goods returned should be in saleable condition.
These terms apply to your order. We may change our terms and conditions at any time, so please do not assume that the same terms will apply in the future.
None of these terms affect your legal rights and these are not diminished in any way. If any term is held to be invalid under any applicable statute or rule of law, that term is automatically omitted from the terms to minimum extent necessary to comply with the law and without affecting the validity or enforceability of the remainder.
