Can I see the colours before buying?
I ordered 14 balls of beautiful lettlopi yarn in violet heather. It came really quickly, ordered on 6th February and delivered on 14th February. I cannot fault anything, and so much cheaper than buying it in the UK. Thankyou so much.
The yarn arrived in very good time (I selected DHL for shipping) and is absolutely beautiful! The color as it appears on the website is very true to the color of the yarn, which is excellent as well. I can't wait to start the project I bought this yarn for - I've never used this lighter lettlopi weight before and so far I love it.
Super fast. Just best
