I placed my first yarn order with Wool Pirate on a Sunday of a long weekend, and was so surprised that the order was prepared for shipment within hours! The package arrived within the week, and was packaged beautifully, with even a few surprise extras! I will definitely be using Wool Pirate again.
Cindy was extremely responsive and helpful. She delivered my yarn to my house within hours of ordering!! Amazing service!!
Great prices, fast and secure shipping, and the personalized touch
The Peruvian yarn that i ordered came very quickly and is of excellent quality! I will order more!
Lykke needles are very smooth and the cords move nicely with the knitting.
I ordered some knitting supplies and they came very quickly and packaged so nicely. Would definitely recommend and I will definitely be purchasing from this company again. I have no affiliation with anyone at this company and am not being paid to say these things. Great Canadian company.
I contacted Cindy because I wanted to purchase a gift certificate for a friend living near by. Being the neophyte, I couldn't find on the website where to purchase a gift certificate, so, I sent her a note via the 'contact me' section of the website. Cindy responded quickly. The gift certificate was generated and sent on to the 'birthday girl'. What great customer service. Thank you Cindy
Excellent service and a fantastic business! The prices are competitive and my order arrived the very next day. I also appreciated the personal note and extra touch. I highly recommend this shop and will be sure to throw my business this way again.

My first order with The Wool Pirate was a pleasant experience. Website was easy to navigate and no problems placing my order. Cindy packed my order and had it ready to ship out the same day. The order arrived safely and well packaged. Also, the other day, I had emailed Cindy with yarn questions and she promptly replied back.
