Let customers speak for us
from 521 reviewsBought to use for the Sevilla crochet blanket. Nice to use, pleased so far with the quality of the yarn
Bought to use for the Sevilla crochet blanket. Nice to use, pleased so far.
Love the colour scheme and the pattern. I thought it would be a bit beyond my crochet skills but it is a very well written pattern and easy to follow in the main.
Not using these tins yet but I am enjoying looking at the lovely little cats.
Only just started crocheting with this yarn but loving it so far. Pretty colours and the wool feels soft in the hand.
I'm excited to have bought some gorgeous yarn for my lace shawl project, but I haven't found time to start it yet.
lovely choice of patterns, very clear instructions
Perfect for my shoulder shrug!! Super comfy and easy to work with ❤️
A smooth yarn with a lovely sheen from the silk. Knitted up easily and would show clear stitch definition for cables etc. Makes bouncy, rather than drapey, fabric.
I bought the book on the shop’s 10th birthday because I saw Gail’s version of the cover sweater on display and absolutely loved it. I also love that she knitted it in one of my favourite yarns - B C Garn Loch Lomond! It’s really beautiful book - fantastic designs and amazing photos too! I can’t wait to come back and buy the yarn very soon.
I plan to weave a scarf with this gorgeous drapey yarn. It should be perfect!
I was first introduced to the Rocking Horse colourway (Prints Bambino range) in a C2C workshop & loved the effect it created. The yarn is easy to crochet with & produces super stitch definition & texture. The 100g ball is a really economical DK yarn & I'm particularly partial to variegated yarns. The Rocking Horse colourway is a firm favourite for me. Having said that the other Prints colourways are equally interesting.
I particularly like the classy two-tone design of these small iconic stork scissors. Being made from stainless steel & having a precision tip makes them particularly useful in snipping yarn or thread exactly where needed.
