The videos & the booklet really helped me figure out how to knit! This is a great beginner project and got me through the days I was struggling with a bad cold. It was a good experience to have a kit with nice fluffy wool, pretty wood knitting needles, & a helpful booklet. ☺️
I haven’t finished it yet, it’ll be a while, but I’m grateful to have learned a new skill.

DO NOT BUY this wool until Wool and The Gang find a new manufacturer. It used to be a 12 out of 10. Now the way it’s woven into the ball it won’t allow you to easily find the end to start knitting and it becomes a big knot. I bought 12 balls last year and they were amazing. 8 this year and I cannot knit without stopping to take so much time to figure out how to unwind the knots. That’s why it’s on sale

Hello Courtney,

Thank you for your feedback.

I'm so sorry to hear that you've experienced an issue with your yarn. We work closely with all of our yarn manufacturers and conduct regular inspections of our yarn to ensure that the best quality yarn is being produced for our customers. However, in some instances, you may find small knots in your yarn (particularly natural fibres!) which sadly cannot be 100% avoided by any yarn manufacturer and is not exclusive to Wool and the Gang.

If you are not happy with the quality of your yarn, please send us some photos via the link below and we'll do our best to sort a solution out for you :)

Beautiful yarn

Wool and the Gang is my go to for wool. Beautiful wool and nice to knit with. I like their kits
too especially the patterns as they are so easy to follow and if you should get stuck along the way, then there are the tutorials which are very helpful. Customer service is also excellent. I would highly recommend.

This kit is wonderful

This kit is wonderful. The yarn is lovely and super-soft, and the needles are really nice as well. It all came packaged up nicely and I was able to jump right into knitting. As a true beginner, I probably should have chosen a lighter color to make it easier to see the stitches (tip to others just starting out).

I think having Evri as a delivery company is something you should look into. My experience of receiving your products via Evri has not been smooth and I think it’s ridiculous that I have to pay for delivery and still get such a terrible service and it’s never on time. I am also not fully satisfied with your balls of yarn - some have multiple yarns simply tied together in a knot. And other knot into themselves.

Hello Sophie,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re really sorry to hear about your recent experience.

Regarding delivery: we completely understand how frustrating it is when a courier doesn’t meet expectations. While Evri handles a large volume of parcels successfully, we know experiences can vary, and we are continuously reviewing our delivery partners to ensure the best possible service for our customers.

Regarding the knots on the yarn, we work closely with all of our yarn manufacturers and conduct regular inspections of our yarn to ensure that the best quality yarn is being produced for our customers. However, in some instances, you may find small knots in your yarn (particularly natural fibres!) which sadly cannot be 100% avoided by any yarn manufacturer and is not exclusive to Wool and the Gang.
