1. Do you have a particular yarn, or will you be getting more of a particular yarn?

The Elann website is set up to make searching for particular yarns and substitutions easy, using our Yarn Search Engine . It offers drop-down menus for searching for your specific criteria: company, gauge, fibre, and even color. If you can't find the yarn you're looking for through our search engine, we don't have it!

A list of yarns we've previously offered is displayed in our Yarn Archive. For those yarns where the possibility exists that we'll be able to re-stock, you'll see an envelope icon in front of the yarn name. Just click on the envelope, and you'll be notified if we bring in new stock.

If you're looking for a particular yarn, and you don't find it through our search engine, you may want to pay a visit to our Swap Center, where you can post a "Desperately Seeking" request to thousands of Elann customers who visit our site daily, and who just may have the yarn you're looking for.

2. Can I add to my order?

We process orders by the calendar day, so if you ever need to add to an order on the same calendar day as your first order is placed, it's no problem at all -- just place the second order, choosing the same shipping method as you chose for the first order, and you'll be automatically asked at the checkout if you want your second order shipped with the first to save on shipping charges. Just be sure to choose the same shipping method for your second order as you chose for your first, so that both orders can be shipped as one.

3. Can I change the email address associated with my customer file?

Yes, you can change the email address associated with your customer file as follows:

-Log on with your old email address and password
-Click "Your Account" at the bottom of the left menu frame
-Click the "View Contact Details" button at the upper left of the account page
-Click the "Change Email Address" button
-Change your email address and save
-Log off
-Log on anew with your new email address, and you should find all in order.

4. What is Your Returns Policy?

Most important to us, is that you be pleased with your Elann order. We guarantee our products to be of first quality and free of manufacturing defects. If you are not completely satisfied with any purchase we want to know about it.

Our Returns Guidelines are as follows:

- Yarns, needles, and tools in original (saleable) condition may be returned for a store credit, exclusive of all shipping charges, within 30 days of purchase.

- We're sorry, but due to copyright laws, we do not accept book and pattern returns.

- We do not make "exchanges". Returns and new purchases are treated as two separate transactions. When we receive your return, we will post a credit to your website customer account for the value of your returned goods, and then notify you via email as soon as the credit has been posted, so that you can apply it to a future order. Credit cannot be applied retroactively to an order already in progress.

- Please include a copy of your receipt with your return. If you haven't kept a copy of your receipt, please print one off from our website by logging on with your email address and password, and then clicking "Your Account" toward the bottom of the left menu frame. At the top right on the account page, there's a "View Your Shopping History" button that takes you to a printable page of all your orders.

- Canadian and overseas returns should be addressed to our Canadian PO Box address (see "Contacting Us" below), and US returns via US Mail should be addressed to our Washington PO Box address (see "Contacting Us" below). For US returns via UPS, please ship to elann.com inc. c/o TSB Shipping Plus, LLC, 1574 Gulf Road - #1543, Point Roberts, WA 98281.

5. What is the status of my order?

Anytime you need to check the shipping status of an order, you can log onto the website, click the "Your Account" button at the bottom of the left menu frame, and then click the "View Your Shopping History" button at the top of the account page. Your shopping history page lists all your orders, their contents, and their shipping status.
