I think it is really not a nice form that someone buys a hank of handdyed yarn from someone, for whom dyeing is just a hobbi, a side-things and only does two events in one year, where the main thing is teaching, not selling, and s/he teaching an ancient skill for free, and it is really said that those handdyed skeins are one-of-a-kind, not repeatable, etc, and you open the skein, start to use the yarn, then decide that your skills are not up to that yarn (which is fairly thin), or realize that you do not like the color after all, then frog back said sample and after more than half a year, take back the skein and ask for an exchange...
Yes, I know that there are rules of sales, and consumerprotection and all that. But as we say in Hungarian, sometimes we fall over to the wrong side of the horse, and some costumer abuse that.
I could have said no, as there were MONTHS since the sale and the hank was OPENED, and I did not. Mostly because dyeing is really a hobbi for me, and it is not my livelyhood that depends on just how many skeins I sell, only just how many unddyed skeins can I buy before the next one. Still I do not like when somebody thinks I am an idiot.
Ps.: The same goes for clothes, you had someone to sew for you personally, you try it on before you take it, then you use it, ven more than once, then think up things you do not like on it, and had the whole thing taken apart, and of course, saying it is under "guarantee" in other words, you are not paying for the extra work.
