The wrong colour yarn was sent - ginger - when I had ordered the last 6 balls of pennyroyal. Although I phoned laughing hens as soon as I received the yarn they no longer had enough stock of the correct colour. A better substitute colour was then sent. Everyone I have told about this asked if I was given a discount but I wasn't. Very disappointing .

I placed an order and was told there would be a one week delay in shipment. I decided I did not want the yarn and they said no problem they would cancel the order. A week later I received an email stating that my order had shipped. I wrote back asking what had happened. They said that I could return the order by mail and they would refund my money. Several weeks later I have never received the yarn I have no idea what has happened to it. Int

I have been waiting for the courtesy of a reply to my letter to you, regarding my purchase of a skein of Noro/KFI ito in #3 towards the end of last year I also enclosed samples of the problem of thick felting at short intervals through the yarn. which was spoiling the garment I was knitting. It may be `trendy` to seek an online review of [presumably] your overall service but I would have thought that a specific request for assistance should automatically be responded to like for like, with a specific response. But rest assured, I will absolutely not be purchasing from you again, instead I shall seek an answer from the manufacturer and also let them know that the company I purchased their product from is obviously not competent sufficiently to respond to letters, or seemingly have no knowledge of the product they are selling. I really am singularly not impressed. Whilst I ticked the box headed `very poor' in the review perhaps it would be better to have another which has zero service, for that is what I have received. I have always found the yarn suppliers most willing to help fellow crocheters and knitters and fully engaged in finding answers to any queries. Clearly you do not subscribe to this fraternity.

the pattern was incomplete. I contacted the shop and received a call back after the staff had worked out how to salvage it. Really I think I should have been reimbursed.

The RICO pattern contained 2 mistakes which as they were both repeated across the row actually meant 8 mistakes causing completed rows to have less stitches than the pattern stated. I am an experienced knitter (65 years experience) and took a long time undoing and working out what they should be. I phoned Laughing hens and spoke to a pleasant lady explaining the situation and telling her what the pattern should have said in both instances. She contacted Rico and emailed me their response. This was a copy of the pattern with one handwritten correction which I had already stated. I was not satisfied; only 1 correction dealt with and no apology. The 2nd error had not been clearly explained to them. I rang Laughing hens again and asked what they felt about the response. I was told that she had spoken to a colleague and the second mistake was in fact right, in other words I was wrong. I then had to explain that yarn forward did not make a stitch when changing from knit to purl despite her telling me again that I was wrong. When I first spoke to them I politely asked to speak to someone who would understand me when I discussed the pattern and its mistakes. I have asked her to contact Rico and tell them I am not happy.

Delivery delayed. I understand this happens sometimes but there's no excuse for not updating customers about delivery.

The on-line tool was using 100g balls to calculate what I needed. The yarn arrived in 50g balls. Not enough to knit anything!! Poor quality pattern printing. Used this site as an experiment - won't use it again.

The colour of the yarn was extremely different from the photo on the website! I did not expect this since I had purchased Louisa Hardings Pittura from you before, and then the colouring was very close to the photo.

If you are referring to the Rowan magazine I purchased, which you later decided was not in stock,( no mention of this on the web site) how can I review something I haven't had. I could have purchased this from another supplier and had a garment half knitted by now. Still no sign of the pattern book.

The yarns came in several packages, the messiest I've ever received, and when I opened them, dead bugs fell out of the yarn.
