There is often a lot of trial and error in the production process. These pieces are part of the Sloomb story, but have not been available until now.
Our samples are typically made with left over yarns from production, so you will find a lot of interesting, but familiar colors, marls, and mixes.
Care for these items like your other Sloomb wool - hand wash and lay flat to dry unless noted otherwise. They are not typically labeled (although some pieces are). All samples are considered pre-production or production samples and sizing may vary but we will do our best to note what size the item is if there is not a tag attached.
All items in these listings are OOAK, meaning there may be more than one piece in that particular color, but only in another size. For instance, Sloomb Gold Wren skirt production samples were made as a solid (skirt and cover in Aster); however, the line came in with an Iris cover (under the skirt).
Refer to the product for sizing info, or to our size charts for vault items.
