Returns


What is your return policy?
Yarn is gladly returned within 90 days with a receipt in it's original condition. 

All refunds will be issued in the form of a store gift card. 

Trunk show items are not eligible for returns

Needles, hooks, tools, books, clearance items, and magazines are not returnable. 

Any defective needles, hooks, or cables will be replaced with an identical item. 



Can I return a defective needle or hook?
Absolutely! Blizzard Yarn and Fiber understands that as fiber artist our tools are an investment and we guarantee that your tools will be free from defects. If a needle or hook you have purchased from us ends up being defective, we will gladly replace it with an identical item.

I started a project with this yarn but changed my mind or don't enjoy the yarn, can I return it?
Sorry to say, but no, once a yarn is used it is no longer eligible for return. If you'd like we would be more than happy to find a project that may be more suited to the yarn. 

If you purchased more than one skein or ball any unwound or unused yarn may be returned following our standard return policy


Classes


When will I be able to take classes again?
Classes and Community events inside Blizzard Yarn and Fiber will not be held until at least Phase 3 of Washington's Safe Start plan and will be at the discretion of the instructor or organizer. 

What are your class policies?
To sign up for classes you must be in our system with your name, phone number, and email address. Your payment will reserve your seat in the class. 

Some classes have prerequisites, you will need to either take the previous class in a series or make arrangements with the instructor beforehand to fulfill these requirements. 

Some classes have homework, please complete your homework before attending class so that instruction can begin as soon as the class starts. 

Class supplies are eligible for a 10% discount, please let us know that you are purchasing supplies for your class before checking out.

Class minimums and maximums are set by the individual instructor, if a class does not meet the minimum number of students by a given date before the class (generally 3 days) it may be cancelled. Please sign up for classes in advance to reserve your space and make sure that class minimums are met and the class will be offered.  

In the event of a class being cancelled we will try all points of contact we have at our disposal. Cancelled classes will be refunded to the students following the normal return policy. 

If you are unable to attend class for any reason, please cancel as soon as possible. If you cancel with less than 24 hours  notice your class fee may be ineligible for a refund. Refunds in these instances will be determined on a case by case basis. 

I have a class I want and it isn't on the schedule! How can I make sure when it is I get to sign up?
You are always welcome to call us or visit us in person and let us know there is a specific class you are looking for and we will add you to our database so that when a class that fits your needs is available we will contact you and get you signed up!
