Let customers speak for us
I loved working with this. The results were excellent.
This yarn produces excellent results. I have several sweaters I've made for myself. Great colors to choose from.
I love to crochet baby blankets. The texture and weight is appropriate for most any baby blanket that I would choose to make.
Great puzzle

Great puzzle
Thanks for sending me your new catalog. Haven T ordered from this catalog yet but have made a horses head and an eagle afghan in the past as well as using easier kits for other afghans and sweaters in the past. getting older now and not knitting and crocheting as much but still enjoy looking thru the catalog. Thanks for sending it to me. Roberta
Very cute. Have not started them yet, but looking forward to making them.
I love this yarn! It behaves perfectly and is gorgeous in color.
I had no problem downloading the pattern. It’s nicely written with diagrams. I may use this as the basis for sleeved scarf.
The kit is great, instructions are clear. Fun item to make.
Love the pattern but still trying to find colors to match in same yarn.
Well made, perfect size. Can't believe this was
was a free gift.
I Love this yarn. It works up so easily. I do suggest making cakes out of the skeins, if it tangles it’s hard to untangle. The key I found to that problem is to NEVER pull the yarn tight while your untangling it and use a crochet needle, it makes it easy to separate. Every item I make from this yarn just makes me buy more and everyone that sees it asks me what it is or for me to make them something.
