Pleased with initial cost, delivery speed and quality , however although the first two balls were great and intact the second two seemed to have several strands either cut or had notted connections .

I was disappointed with the quality of two of the 5 balls of DK wool I recently ordered from you. 3 were fine, but thered was thicker and than the others and the Old Rose was a poor colour and more like Aran wool than DK.

The white acrylic yarn arrived promptly and adequately packaged, but the yarn had black flecks in its strands near the middle. Not the fault of The Wool Factory, I imagine contamination in manufacture, but I was none the less disappointed. I did not feel it would be fair to ask for replacements as there is no way of knowing which balls are contaminated. I will however be ordering from you again soon.

The wool factory had not made me happy as I've received my order yesterday and 2 balls of yarn are missing , sent an email straight away and not received a reply at all , so saying queries are resolved in under an hour is not true

Have used time and time again great deals. However I have ordered Marino Aran but not sure as seems more like double knit. So I will reserve judgement until I knit with it

Yarn was a good price Delivery was prompt Can’t believe a business doesn’t have a working phone line No reply to email sent two or three days before writing this report. Have since sourced what I needed elsewhere.

Well, the yarn I bought (Sublime Extra Fine Merino Worsted - Aran - 50g - Colour:Bloom 480) was a very good quality at the price, but the colour was a disappointment - it wasn't anyway near the colour displayed on the website (no matter which device I tried). There's a very long way from fuchsia to soft pink! (And it was the right shade - 0480!) (It's the right colour

Only 3 stars because communication is poor phone calls not answered and emails take a long time to reply especially when you need to talk to someone about the order I understand there are busy times,but ... The Sirdar tundra wool is good quality although very thick. Sorry not a good review.

I feel I can only comment when I receive the rest of my order or at least an indication of when it will be sent

Your asking me to write a review and I haven’t even received my order yet maybe you could look into this for me.

The wool I ordered arrived quickly but unfortunately was not the colour I ordered. The delivery note had the correct shade number on but unfortunately the wool I received did not. I will keep the wool as the shade is very similar but if you are going to make a substitute it would be good to let the customer know.

Unfortunately, as possibly to be expected, the colours looked nothing like they did on the website. I thought one of them was light blue and as only codes were given I telephoned to ask if it was but just kept getting a message advising nobody was available so took a chance and got it wrong. Also, I could have bought it cheaper at my local wool shop and saved the postage too.

Knitted with Rico baby dream a few times and loved it BUT unfortunately the white I purchased from you last week didn't compare favourably!!!! It isn't as soft, definitely a shade whiter and felt like one ply thinner!!! I was half way through a cardigan which now has one thick sleeve and one thinner sleeve!!! Now deciding whether to redo the whole cardigan??!!!!m

The wool is great but I feel as I paid 1st class post I should have got it sooner than I did.
