The product arrived as promised very quickly and the whole process was ver efficient. The shipping packaging is beautiful and the presentation and chocolate were amazing. To be honest J did not realize the wool would be in rounds rather than balls and that it would be as thin and delicate. I have had to restart the project several times to get the guard and fear that I will need additional wool. It was only after I had researched the wool online and adjusted the sizing that I could make progress with the project. I am used to using the thicker lopi wools so I was a little disappointed. However I think in the end the sweater will be lovely and warm and much lighter. It is a learning experience which is always a good thing!

Shipped very quickly - much quicker than I expected. My first time knitting with plotulopi wool and only my second time with circular needles. Knits up beautifully and really good value. I think that some more information on the website explaining how to knit up the jumpers and what the wool is like would encourage the not so confident knitters to buy the kits. Very happy with my purchase and excited to be knitting with genuine Icelandic wool!!

I am extremely please with both the knitting kit and the service I received from the Icelandic Store. The knitting kit was exactly what I was looking for and the fact that I was able to change the colours for ones of my choice was absolutely ideal. The service was outstanding. I purchased the kit on 10th December and expected delivery to be 15 days but it actually arrived with me on the West Coast of Scotland on 17th December. That is quicker than some parcels I have received from mainland UK. Very happy to recommend the Icelandic Store.
