Skiens were smaller than I expected. Price was good, but I may not have enough to use for what I orriginally intended. At lese I have other projects that t will work for.
I love the yarn, but I don’t love the company and their shipping policies and their religious holidays. They don’t tell anybody about and you’re sitting here waiting for two weeks to get your yarn. I... See more

Shipping is TERRIBLE!!!
Shipping is TERRIBLE!!!! I order over 2 weeks ago and customer service said today that it could still be 5-7 business days before it ships!!!! She said they’ve been having trouble for months!!!!! They’re still sending out emails for you to buy from them!!!!! I could get stuff from China faster!!!!!!

I have been disappointed with customer service
I haven’t been disappointed with the yarn. However, had the experience of feeling “had” by their customer services and promotions. I was charged for an $8. Item when it was supposed to be free with my order and I entered the promotion code. The phone message said to email them right away to cancel the order or change it. By the time I received a response it was past their deadline, they offered to honor it if I purchased the required amount again, I did, because I had a project I was working on anyway. Spent the required amount but used another promotion. Told they wouldn’t refund the $8. Because I used another promotion. This wasn’t explained before. It was only $8. I like to think customers are worth more than $8. Could have been a very simple correction. After previously spending hundreds on their products, I stopped purchasing from them and haven’t missed it.

Your Order won't arrive!
I have been waiting for my order since December!
There is no phone number available for the public and the email doesn't ever get a response. I have spent a lot of money for wool which never arrived, I feel like it's a scam. They even tried to ask for a review on the wool I never received. Don't trust this brand.

Promotions are Great
2021 was the first time I ordered a Santa sack and despite the several dissatisfied reviews I ordered and was so happy. I literally think I LOVED the Sack itself. It was like getting a surprise gift to myself. My niece also contacted me to tell me she was ordering one also. It's a Grab Bag so I think folks shouldn't be so picky.

They ignore my mail when I have not received my item
I have not received my items after over three month and they don't answer my mail about it. I think that is bad manners!
