The wool is beautiful

The wool is beautiful. The directions are easy to follow and I was able to go on line and fined examples of stitches to help also. I would recommend this as an easy way to get started on knitting the basics.

Fine yarn

Nice yarn, but the red is very difficult to use due to the dark color and thinness. I also never received an order confirmation from Wool and the Gang which was very odd. I had to reach out to customer service to confirm I ever even placed the order.

Hi Sophia!

Thank you for your feedback. Sometimes email providers filter us as spam which is frustrating when we are expecting that order confirmation and tracking link!

Beautiful yarn

Alpachino merino wool is gorgeous. Soft and squashy but with good stitch definition. Perfect for a comforting blanket and lovely to work with.

Lovely, lovely wool

I am a novice knitter and was given a Wool and the Gang kit as a gift, which encouraged me to complete a bigger project than I had undertaken thus far. The wool (Alpachino Merino) was easy to knit with and the pattern was clear and helpful. Encouraged by my success, I purchased a more ambitious kit (still beginner-friendly) and although the wool (Feeling Good Stripe) is a little more challenging to work with for a newbie, it is very lovely. In addition, the pattern is clearly written and the support videos are helpful. I'm still learning, but the beautiful wool is a real incentive to get better.

Inexperienced knitter who has now gained in confidence

I have ordered a range of products from Wool and the Gang over the past few years. Everything has arrived well packaged and within the expected time. I had not knitted for many years and had only ever had basic skills so have found their many online tutorials absolutely essential. They are so clear and easy to follow and have given me confidence to attempt increasingly complex patterns. I have learnt stitches and techniques that I never knew existed. I have also found their team very helpful on a couple of occasions when I have emailed them for help. I also love the range of colours they have to choose from.

Beautifully soft yarns!

Beautifully soft and in gorgeous colours!
Soft to knit with and delivery is fast and reliable in a lovely strong bag that keeps your wool dry and out the way!

The product is great but the service…

The product is great but the service could have been better. I was sent the wrong materials initially, looks like my order was mixed up with someone else's. Wool and the Gang re-sent the correct order and offered a refund for the change in price between when I ordered and when they re-sent the correct order. While I am very grateful for the refund in change in price it did mean I had to wait close to a month for my project to arrive. They also incorrectly calculated the refund and I had contact them again to get it corrected.

Hi Bridget!

We’re truly sorry for the mix‑up with your order and the delay in getting your original items to you. Regarding the refund issue, that was also a human error on our side, and we sincerely apologise for the inconvenience it caused.

We really hope you're happy with the yarn you received and that this experience hasn’t discouraged you from shopping with us again. We genuinely appreciate your understanding and patience.

Best Wishes,
Customer Service | Wool and the Gang
