Let customers speak for us
Working on the stars but it's looking really good
Have not started it yet but the instructions look great, lots of information
I have crocheted six of MJs sweaters in the last 3 years but this is my first kit and first time using MJs yarn. Mary Maxim makes the process very easy by offering kits - they arrive in a clear reusable zipper bag with heavy printed patterns making it easy to start crocheting.
The only thing I have to say is greatness. I got 3 boxes of the same yarn, but a little bit of a difference in each one. If you buy more than 2 maybe make the boyarn different. I love them really addicting.
I saw this is beautiful. As soon as I finished with my current project I’m going to start this!
Very cute and good sized. Soft yarn. I got an extra skein of gold because I saw other reviews. Was doing multiple bags and didn't want to be slowed down.
Very cute and good sized gift bag. The yarn is soft
I use this for dish scrubbers all the time I love it and use it

This yarn is incredible. It works up really nice. Only thing that gave me fits was the grid pattern. As a visual person I got off track so many times because the picture on the gridhad the light color was the dark yarn and the dark color on the grid was the light yarn.
I was so excited to get this kit but once I started to make it, I realized that it isn’t soft at all. I was going to make this as a baby afghan but I would not use it for my baby. Sad
This is the worst yarn I ever bought. It just knots up.- big knots as I tried to pull it out of the skein. I spent more time trying to get the knots out than I did knitting. I am done with it.
I want to enjoy knitting- no way with this yarn

We would be happy to assist you and make things right. Please reach out to us at info@marymaxim.com and we will do our best to resolve this issue for you.
The yarn was warm & soft but a tad scratchy feeling on bare skin.
I purchased this yarn to make prayer shawls. The first thing I noticed about it is that it seems quite thin for a worsted weight yarn; it feels very light, like a sport weight yarn. The color looked beautiful in the skein, but it looks more like a burlap bag as the shawl is getting bigger. And it looks like it has a white cat's hair all over it, with little lint balls. I won't purchase this yarn again.

This yarn has been a go-to for me in the construction of baby blankets, including a pink one like above for my Granddog Eileen. She loves it and likes to be snugged up in her pink dog bed bing covered up at the beginning of her snooze, but rearranging it more comfortably later.
I love this yarn so much that I purchased more and created a beautiful shawlette, head warmer, and men's scarf! My mom even wants a shawlette now in the same Alpaca Tweed. So soft, lays nicely, and is easy to hand wash. Warm enough for cold snowy days and windy days! Can't say enough positive about this yarn!
This yarn knits up very nicely and easily cared for following instructions on the label. The fleck in the fibers often comes to the surface while knitting, however.
I love this yarn. My fingers have some arthritis and this yarn is very gentle through my hands. It is so soft and knits and crochets beautifully. The alpaca gives it extra warmth and beauty. I will gift the afghan made with this yarn with confidence and assurance that it will be received with joy!
Quality products. Always a pleasure to order from Mary Maxim. Fast delivery.
Another color I picked out for my granny square afghsn. These wool yarns are all brilliant colors.
These are all for a granny square afghan pattern I decide to make in this pretty yarn.
These are all beautiful yarns for my sweater patterns. It is why I decided to buy the sweater kirs.
These wool colors are so pretty. It is great for my afghan pattern.
This is the same beautiful wool yarn included in some of kits that I wanted for an Afghan pattern.
Beautiful colors and easy to work with. I'm using the recommended needles and wish I'd used smaller ones to get a denser drape.
The alpaca made a very warm yet lightweight hat. Definitely easy to hook and finished hat was appreciated but the recipient, sadly I forgot to take a picture of this one or the green one that went to the same individual.
Just really love this yarn for my sweate.
Soft and easy to knit. Made a beautiful shawl for my son.
Beautiful color and feel. Looking forward to making a scarf from it.
Love the color and texture of the yarn, but can be a little difficult at times, as it does split easily and there are some areas that have clumps or threads not spun together. I am almost finished with my project and is turning out to be very nice looking.
Très bonne laine je ne connaissait pas l'alpaga
Gorgeous thread, love everything about it! Would order 20 more if I had a project I needed
First time for this. I just "had" to try it. Very soft.
All my orders from your store have been most excellent. I have never been disappointed from all the service involved when ordering yarn eg. tracking, up dated info etc.
Beautiful yarn delived right away
