Ordered Royal Fuschia for Annestrick’s Great Love sweater. Yarn arrived in idaho from Iceland in 3 days!!! Loved working with it so much I’ve ordered more in Lapis Blue Heather and am starting another Great Love for a friend! Thank you!
The yarn I bought was not what I thought I was getting! I guess it should have been Alafoss instead. The previous yarn was great and my 9 year-old great-grandson is thrilled with his sweater. I shall send pictures of the three boys in their sweaters when the third one is finished!
Great product. Wool arrived with the week & lovely range of colours. Very happy with service. Postage & tax needs adding but still good value. Especially as none of the uk stores had any stock available! Have stayed jumper already!
