Great yarn for my blanket
I like the color and the composition of the yarn. I'm using it for a crocheted blanket.
Lovely yarn, but colour different from the photo
I ordered the sandy beige yarn. It’s beautiful yarn and so soft and perfect for the blanket I’m making. However, based of the name and the picture I was expecting beige yarn, but it is grey as you can see in the picture. Luckily I like it anyway!
The order arrived very quickly. The colour was just what I wanted and the yarn was soft. Obviously, I haven't washed it yet, but I hope that it will be good. I have already finished knitting the sweater, worn it, and received many compliments!
Perfect yarn for my afghan
The yarn seems to be perfect for the afghan I am planning. The color is great. I was looking for something that would complement the light shade of grey in my house. The pattern I chose is designed for a color changing yarn, so no problems so far.
Bought wool online whilst away on holiday expecting it to come the day after I returned. I was so surprised that it arrived before I got home. Service etc is excellent Easy to knit with and such a lovely colour. Would recommend this company.
Excellent service, reasonable prices
