The order came really quickly and was well packaged.

I had previously bought the yarn from a shop but ran out so I was really relieved I was able to find it on Lovecraft. The colour match was very good, too, and the price reasonable.

Helpful and reliable

Lovely yarn that is making up well into a cosy casual jacket. It needs big needles (6mm) that took some getting used to but I’m in the swing of it now.

Nice and soft but very "sticky" to knit with. Heaven help you if you need to rip out stitches.
