Lovely yarn for my Nålbinding work! Thanks for the chocolate!
Received this lovely wool very quickly, thank you. The colour is beautiful. I ordered this wool to see and feel it for myself, not sure what I'll be doing with it yet. Sadly my very sensitive skin suggests I couldn't tolerate wearing it. My loss. I just love looking at your colours and knitting patterns. Thank you again 😊
I was so impressed with this store. The yarn is wonderful but the shipping was amazing! It was originally scheduled to arrive in 10 days which I thought was very reasonable coming from Iceland to the US. Imagine my surprise when it arrived in 5 days! I'm looking forward to working with this yarn and hope to order more in the future. Well done!
I am delighted with my wool and have finished one jumper and started another already! I love the colours of the wool, they are so subtle and varied.
The service is excellent and I enjoy the newsletters. All in all, an excellent company and an excellent product.Well done and thank you!
