text: Hand-dyed Petite Chenille Trim by Vintage NeedleArts (1/4 inch wide)
  Color: Mermaid's Tail
  DMC reference - 3811
  Description - light aqua green with a slight blue undertone
  2 continuous yards per package
  This is the perfect little trim for edging/finishing on needlework projects, doll and baby clothes, sewing, quilting, costumes, gift wrapping and so much more!
  Colorfast - while not every piece is individually tested, we DO add a textile medium to our dye which helps the trim retain its color after washing. Most colors ARE colorfast but if you intend to wash your project after completion, it is always better to rinse the trim under cool water to double check before using.
  ** This is a hand-dyed trim. Please base your color selection on the DMC reference - not the picture - as all computer monitors, tablets, phones, etc ... interpret color differently and the image you are seeing on your device may not be an accurate depiction of the actual color. Pieces may vary from slightly lighter or darker and have more or less shading than seen in the image. Please note that not all fibers accept color the same - so a particular color in one trim or fabric might not be exactly the same shade in another trim or fabric. If you receive your trim and the color is not suitable, please contact us to discuss a possible return.

  Dream Big Little Mermaid - the floss list is incorrect on some charts. Please use the following information: A is E3849, B is 793, C is 4030 and D is 3810. All are DMC colors.
  Willamina's Woolens - The fabric color should be listed as Summer Lake not Midnight.

  In some situations, we may be able to accomodate custom sizes on our hand-dyed fabrics. It will be considered on a case by case basis. Please contact us for individual pricing. At this time, we are no longer doing custom colors. Larger sizes of our non-hand-dyed fabrics can be special ordered - please contact us for specifics and pricing.
  Every computer, tablet, phone - represents color in a different way. Typically, this is no where near what the color actually looks like in person. Please do not base your fabric choice on the image you are seeing - for every listing, there is a DMC floss reference. Please use THIS information when deciding on a color for your project. But also remember that even this is just a reference. The hand-dyed fabric is just that - it is dyed entirely by hand - not mass produced in a factory some where. Each and every piece will be slightly different. We are also available for help and suggestions, please contact us and we will be happy to provide assistance.
  We use two different methods to dye our fabric.
  The Colet method of dyeing (a brush-on technique) is used for the Aida fabric in the BD Group. This technique produces a higher saturation of color and darker colors with heavier shading. The colors can be a light and dark version of the same color or a mixture of two or three different colors. The fabric itself retains the sizing, is stiffer and has virtually no wrinkles.
  A traditional dip dye technique is used for the Aida in the DD Group, as well as, the Linda, Lugana and Linen fabrics. This technique produces softer color variations and a more solid color appearance with a bit of marbling. The fabric itself has a softer feel and will have some wrinkling.
  We ship on the same day that the shipping label is printed. We cannot control how long it takes for USPS or Fed Ex to get the item to you. Since Covid, there have been delays in customers receiving the orders. However, items are rarely actually lost in the mail. In the event that USPS marks an item as "in transit, arriving late" - we will not issue a refund or mail a new item out until at least 30 days have passed with out any updated tracking information. After 30 days, we will assume the item is truly lost in the mail and a new item will be shipped or a refund will be issued. In the event that USPS says an item has been delivered when it has not been - it is the buyers responsibility to contact USPS and file a claim for a lost item.
  Because of the nature of these items, we cannot accept returns for:
  - custom orders
  - digital downloads
  - "short cut" fabrics
  - paper charts
  - clearance or special buy items
  We do not do exchanges. If you receive your order and it does not meet your needs, please contact us within seven days to discuss a return. (See the list above for items that may not be returned). We will discuss the options and do our best to work with you.
  We do offer a wholesale program for qualified buyers. This program is limited to Vintage NeedleArts products only (hand-dyed fabric, hand-dyed trims and our charts). Please contact us for more information about our wholesale program.
