Was trying to track down an old kit

Was trying to track down an old kit. I searched for it and could not find reference to it. Went through the contact option and got an immediate auto response giving me timing on hearing from someone. Within that timing, I received an email with exactly what I wanted. Amazing customer service and really quick responses.

I love the wool…

I love the wool but am disappointed that some yarn, like the mohair has very limited colours. I keep checking to see if that status has changed but it has not. There is a shawl, your pattern, that I would love to make but I want the pink mohair. I am hoping that colour will become available again, as well as other colours

I was very impressed with the speed of delivery. I live in Alaska and usually things can take quite some time to ship here but my yarn arrived so fast. I placed my order late in the evening of February 6 and it arrived at my door February 12! The whole process was seamless, easy and the yarn is gorgeous and so soft!

It's expensive

I love the Candy Twist Hand Painted Sprinkles yarn I bought to knit a scarf, but I wanted one additional skein to make the scarf a little longer and I was disappointed to find that one extra skein would cost over $20.

The wool, Avocado cardigan

I had inadvertently ordered two of the same kits and I had a little trouble getting the return label. Also three of my seven balls of wool , The Wool. Had joins in the wool near the beginning or end. Very disappointing as it was expensive wool.

Thank you for your feedback.
We apologize if our return process has been confusing. We would love to review your case but you nickname doesn't allow us to identify your order.
Regarding the knot you found. We make every effort to avoid knots in our skeins, although it is possible, that during the production process of our fibers, a knot has to be made. We would like you to keep in mind that without this knot, we would have to throw away huge amounts of fiber in perfect condition, which is completely contrary to our efforts to protect the environment and the reduction of waste. We hope that you understand and support us in this daily effort.
We are sharing in our blog or Youtube channel a few tips on how to handled these knots.

Very slow service

Very slow service, poor quality yarn and hard to reach anyone for support, returns, etc. I have found them very frustrating to work with and would not order from them again.

We are sorry to read the yarn you received did not gave you full satisfaction.
We apoogize for the delay, we just found out your initial ticket had not been correctly raised due to a technical bug.
Our Customer Service team will send you today your prepaid return label.

EDIT: Reason for the initial bug, the email you gave during your chat session was not valid "Recipient server rejected email. Status code: 550 5.1.1. User does not exist; recommend checking for typos."

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Although email was informative

Although email was informative, suggest combining any/all possible instead of multiples. I received total of five, seems excessive.
