Sheila: The wool is beautiful but this kit is a Christmas present so I really am unable to comment on the pattern or how they will knit up. I am sure it will be very well received.

Alison: This is my first order and I am impressed by the service and helpfulness. I needed 2 skeins so these were dyed for me very quickly. The package was well packed and the yarn wrapped in tissue. I will be back.

Hilary: Quick service, pretty pattern and subtly-shaded yarn, feels like pure silk. 😊

Roberta: Super speedy delivery, beautifully packaged - brought joy: very well written pattern: lovely yarn, thank you.

Debra: So pleased with the Spring Equinox shawl kit!!! It came in great shape, beautifully wrapped and I can't wait to get my needles clicking!!! Thanks so much!!
