Let customers speak for us
I’m making a marled throw for my g-grandson holding two strands Premier Colorfusion DK yarn. I’m using a yarn strand from each end of the skein to develop the marled design. The throw in the Blue Jean color is turning out perfect for a 12yr old boy. I’ve added stripes of different colors every 12 rows throughout the throw.
The Premier Colorfusion Dk yarn is soft & nice to work with. I recommend this yarn.
Absolutely beautiful kit. Can't wait to get started. Top quality.
This yarn is so soft & perfect for baby or adult, knit or crochet. I’ve made several crochet w-bobbles car blankets for baby gifts. They washed & blocked with no problems.
ALWAYS ENJOY ITEMS IN THE CATALOGUE.
EVERYTHING ARRIVED AS EXPLAINED IN THE ORDER.
I made a little girl a beautiful teddy bear with this yarn. She loved it and so did I.
It is a precious bag. I was short some of the yarn and they fixed the problem right away. A gear company to deal with
I was impressed by the quality of the printed pattern and chart.
The puzzle is adorable. Lots of color!
I love the starlette yarns I ordered. They are great colors and easy to use.
My favorite value yarn. The feel and easy care are unbeatable.
I'm happy with what I received,I ordered 4 of the bag's, all were the same but I don't mind because I can do bigger projects with them now.
Great yarn
I'm so glad to find Mary Maxim. I happened upon it from a search on Amazon, tried a variegated green and then researched the actual company. I ordered 10 skeins of Starlette and am happy with the softness and smooth feel while crocheting. In the future I intend to try different lines of yarn for other projects than the current blankets and afghans. I enjoyed learning about the origins of your company and that it's still a family business. Thank you! from North Carolina.
Ran out of main color and had to order more. Just needed a little more to finish the collar and sew up the sweater.

Well written pattern, love the throw
Clearly written instructions to easily follow pattern
I like the design and the way each section looks. It’s not for beginners but for someone like me who’s been doing afghans since I was ten it’s at the right level of challenge.
beautiful pattern- easy to follow
Have the pattern and am looking forward to making it.
Have not started yet. Looks beautiful and can’t wait!
This looks like it will be a beautiful sampler, but I would have much preferred the pattern to have a chart attached instead of written directions.

Very confusing. Hard to knit in a straight line when you're flipping sheets of paper while trying to figure out, " where am I now?"
Not only is this afghan pretty, it was easy to make if you're proficient with cables. I eliminated the fringe because we don't like it in our face. There are a few differences between the pic and the actual pattern but similar enough.
I haven’t had time to go over the pattern as yet. I’m ready hoping that I’m able to do the patterns. I think that the Aran Afghans are gorgeous.
Haven't made it yet but it's a great pattern
Haven't made it yet but it's a great pattern
Very easy to purchase and download. Beautiful pattern!
I always enjoy working with this wool and have made a number of afghans. This pattern requires a little patience to set up but it is well worth the effort!
Beautiful patterns
I have not made the throw yet as I making another throw from Mary Maxim . The Aran Sampler throw will be my next project. Have read the pattern instruction. Appear easy to follow
Love this pattern, but am concerned on the size - or maybe I read the pattern wrong. I am using a size 4 yarn and size 10 needles and after 240 rows the throw is not close to the expected size. Did I read the pattern wrong? Are there more than 240 rows?
I did not start working on this pattern, but the one I ordered is hard but great. I just love it. It was worth waiting for
Looks good. Presently in queue
Easy to order and download the pattern.
Easy to read pattern
It was oK. Nothing special. It was OK
Hi Anne, thank you for your feedback. If there's anything we can do to help, please let us know. We are here to help! :slightly_smiling:
Very satisfying project
The instructions are good. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is I wish the wool was just a bit softer, but otherwise it is coming together nicely
Love this pattern. I’m looking forward to making this afghan.
The instructions are great. I have not made this one yet.
Beautiful blanket. Pattern is easy to follow and the cable work makes this blanket very special. Very important to use markers.
Mary Maxim is a very respected developer of knitting and other craft patterns. I have not yet knit the aran blanket but looks like very clear instructions .
Nice pattern, easy instructions and is knitting up nicely in the starlette natural colour. Just started this project.
Nice pattern. Easy to follow.
Very beautiful pattern. Directions are easy to follow and was exactly what I was looking for in an Aran throw. Great selection.
Have not started working on the pattern at this time. It sure looks interesting.
