“It is lovely wool but I found it was very thin in some parts of the wool. It is not noticeable until a few rows have been knitted.”

“I went to your shop in Alford to buy some cotton knitting wool but I was disappointed as their was not a lot to look at and had to choose the wool on a tablet so the young girl could fetch it . But on a positive side the wool I purchased was very nice just a sham you have not got moor room”

Hi Tina, Thank you for your review and our apologies that we could not provide the wow factor. We had to temporarily open our shop much smaller than previously while we arranged how we could open our shop back up to full capacity. We have now made our shop much larger again with a lot more choice on display. We still have a lot of work we want to do and we hope to have our shop back up to our high standards by the end of the month. We hope that you enjoy your purchase from us.

“Price was competitive. Delivery was slow, 3 to 5 weeks I think it was. I feel the Aran wool was quite “stiff” for the toddler. Hence I normally buy from a shop where I can feel the wool. I did email about delivery thinking it was lost in post and did get a quick reply saying delay due to covid. Colour was same as advertised. Would I use this company again, I probably would if I could not shop buy.”

Hi Ethel, Thank you for your review and we are sorry to hear that you was not happy with the yarn purchased. Unfortunately we don't manufacture the yarn and we don't know if yarns will have any flaws or faults until it is being used. We are always more than happy to accept any faulty balls back for full refunds. If you experience anything like this in the future please just email us at: sales@thewoolfactory.co.uk and we will be happy to resolve any issues that you may experience. Thank you

“Cannot fault the products. However items were ordered 7/12/20 and were delivered 23/12/20. I sent two emails enquiring about the delivery no response. I realise with Christmas/COVID anything takes a bit longer but it would have been nice for an update.”

“Wool is fab! But delivery shocking! Took over ten days! So am very disappointed as there was no communication from yourselves and I had to chase the order myself. My reason for using you was because I live at lincs coast for part of the year and I have been a previous customer , I felt I needed to support my local businesses. Try to reduce delivery times or communicate with customer it will make people much happier. We want you to do well! So all the best for the future. Regards Mary Hagin”

Hi, Thank you for your review. Unfortunately orders are taking longer to arrive than usual, we can only apologise about this. We are trying our utmost to get orders dispatched as quickly as possible in these difficult times. We do state on our website that delivery is taking longer than usual. Please see here: https://www.thewoolfactory.co.uk/delivery-info-3-w.asp Unfortunately Royal Mail are under a huge amount of pressure and once an order leaves us it is in the hands of Royal Mail to deliver. They are facing staff shortages, huge demand and a number of restrictions due to covid. We are trying to operate the best we can and we are sure Royal Mail are trying to deliver as quickly as they can.

“The customer service is excellent. I am however disappointed with the quality of the wool and the colour, off white just looks frankly grubby. Yes it was very inexpensive but I won't be using it. Sorry Woolfactory.”
