“Where to start, l did praise you initially. Your website held my interest for an uninterrupted hour! So impressed was l at the range & seeming quality both of your products and staff. So much so, the item you now ask me to review l purchased along side its sister pattern book, content, 4 Hat patterns. Prematurely it seems, l was impressed with the promptness of delivery and quality of its undamaged arrival. So much so, l placed a further order, that too arrived promptly & undamaged. You might well ask, 'whats the problem delighted customer! Therein lies the rub! Which again l presume by your standards (not mine) was viewed as nothing much! So let me break it down for you like your 6yr olds. Your company, business, shambolic impression of a professional outfit, sent me a pattern book l already had, (since l'd no need to hold one in each hand to disseminate the information therein) l informed you of that fact, And was assured the error would be rectified, But instead of prompt rectification, you send me an inept customer quality survey for completion. How delightful, if not a tad, well very big presumption!. Fascinating, really, fascinating! So Sir/Madam, inept person, l prefer the error fixed but now you presume to insult me android try extorting money for an item already fully paid for! Next stop, your Head Office, l like CEO's, raw with a dash of mustard! I'm sure you get my drift! Ms Beverley Douglas”

Hello Beverly I apologise you received a duplicate orders from us. We accept responsibility for the mistake at our end. We have not charged you for the second order, payment is taken when customers proceed though checkout, we do not have access to customers payment details therefore it is impossible for us to take further payment without the customers authorization. We also provide free returns labels with each order therefore the return was free. I apologise for the inconvenience. Kind regards Joanna Laughing Hens

“We were delighted to find just what we were looking for- plain black mohair- and even happier to get the last 6 balls. My mum knitted the cardy over an evening and discovered the next morning one ball was a different colour/ dye lot. She hadn't checked before she started knitting and didn't notice in the evening light. She is now very disappointed not to have noticed. Why would a knitting website send different dye lots?”

Helpful Report

Hello Andrea We very rarely send mixed dye lots. The only occasion that we send mixed dye lots is if the yarn is disconnected and we are unable to get more in stock. We apologise for the inconvenience. Kind Regards Joanna Laughing Hens

“I purchased yarn pattern and needles, money taken then told yarn out of stock for 14 days so agreed to a substitute and paid extra over phone then received further email to be told pattern out of stock for further 24 days. So now paid more than I wanted to for yarn with no pattern. Poor website I should have been advised out of stock on both counts before my money was deducted and I would have purchased elsewhere. Disappointed”

“I ordered from this website as it said the products I wanted were in stock. Having paid full price upfront I then end up waiting 2 months for delivery. Other companies were honest enough to say out of stock on their website. Very disappointing.”

We apologise for the delay. We allow customers to over order however during the checkout procedure it notifies customers of the delay. After checkout we also send an email to inform the customer of the delay. Usually delays are 7-10 working days however due to delays at the manufacturers we were slow to receive this item.

Helpful Report

We allow customers to over order as we are able to get items in stock within a week or two. Many customers are happy waiting as specific knitting goods can be hard to source. The customer is notified when they add items to there basket if they are over ordering, it is also stated at checkout. Kind regards Joanna

Hello Eileen. We apologise we were unable to provide you with one of the yarns you ordered in time. Generally when we order from our supplier it takes a week for items to come in stock however we experienced longer delays on the colour you ordered.

“After placing my order I received a confirmation email, but my address was wrong. They had omitted the first line of the address. I emailed back the correct address every day for 5 days and never heard from them once. At last I got an email from them to say my order was on its way to the wrong address! So frustrating.. I have since emailed them back highlighting yet again their mistake and awaiting for a reply. I have no hope of receiving my order, they deserve less than the 1 star rating, very very upsetting.”
