Ordering Information
To place an online Wholesale order, please login.
Orders also may be submitted by fax, telephone, mail or email. If calling, be prepared to state your Account Number and give full item details: yarn code and name, color number and name, quantities in cones or pounds.
Most cone weights vary from their listed average weights. Precision-wound cones are accurate for yardage, but vary in weight according to incidental moisture. If a minimum weight is desired, or if your production requires a fixed number of cones, please indicate accordingly. In the absence of instructed limitations, our tendency is to ship rather more than less of an ordered quantity. For dyelot uniformity, please order sufficient yarn to complete projects; shade do vary from lot to lot.
Custom Dyeing is available for many of our stock yarn styles. All custom-dye orders require a non-refundable 50% deposit. If you are looking for a yarn or color not shown among our stock offerings, please inquire with Customer Service. New colors and styles are constantly in development. We welcome your suggestions, swatches or colors and will consider these in the formulation of new or updated lines
Back-Orders: Approximate dates for expected delivery of back-orders are indicated on invoices. Significant extensions to such dates are advised by fax, telephone or e-mail. We make every effort to ship promptly and expeditiously, but cannot guarantee that production or other delays will not extend an awaited backorder. We encourage you to indicate any defined Cancel Date after which an order or backorder may not be shipped without formal authorization. Customers who cancel a valid new or backorder after shipment, or who refuse delivery without authorization from Silk City Fibers, may be held liable for shipping and restocking charges.
Shipping: List prices are quoted F.O.B. Rincon, Georgia. Ground or Priority Mail delivery orders usually are shipped in 2-3 business days.
Invoice: Invoice will be sent out by email upon a customer requests.

Terms & Conditions
International Payments: Because Canadian and other international payments are subject to a scale of bank charges dependent on the amount and currency of transaction, we request that international payments for amounts under US $5,000 be effected via credit card. If payment is made by check, all bank charges will be billed back to the issuer. For International settlement of amounts exceeding US $5,000 we may request payment by bank wire transfer or letter of credit.
About Online Color Images
We strive to display colors of our yarns as accurately as possible. Nevertheless, differences in device screens unavoidably will result in differences in appearance of the colors from one screen to another and from the original yarns themselves. For more accurate renditions of colors and textures, we encourage you to obtain a catalog of our color cards. If a project requires extraordinarily precise color matching, please order reelings of the actual yarn currently in stock.
Special Note
It is not possible to guarantee all fibers for all possible end uses. We strive to maintain the highest quality in all of our yarns, which are thoroughly tested in a variety of applications. All yarns exhibit some, albeit small, degree of irregularity which must be taken into account. Variegated dye processes can exhibit a relatively wide disparity of coloration from lot to lot or even within individual cones (see our product Notes sheet for more information). Ultimately, your own care and judgment must be exercised in developing and making the final fabrication. Silk City Fibers will accept returns in yarn form only (subject to terms and requirements specified above) and, in the event of claims, compensate no more than actual paid value of returned yarn. Silk City Fibers will not accept responsibility for any claims on fabric, finished goods or labor, or other incidental costs.
