Everything perfect! I almost made another order again. But had to stop myself. I at least have to start knitting with it before my next one. It’s not like I don’t already have a stash!

Hi! I just wanted to say thank you for such a great order experience 💛 The linen yarn turned out even more beautiful in person – it has a lovely color and a really nice texture. Huge plus for the super fast shipping and smooth, easy communication. Shopping with you was a real pleasure – definitely not my last order 😊

I purchased the Victoria Merino in the Verde colourway. Yarn feels lovely, and I was surprised by the price - normally I would spend much more for merino wool! I'll be knitting a short-sleeved top. I liked that there was choice in how to get the yarn (I asked it to be wound up in big cakes). Delivery with Royal Mail was smooth. Once I got the tracking info, I diverted the parcel to my local post office so I didn't have to worry about missing the delivery.

I was sceptical about the prices being that low at first, however after my first delivery I was blown away by the quality of the yarn and the meticulously wrapped and packed goods. Just 5/5, would recommend to anyone looking for affordable luxury.
