I’ve ordered from The Wool Pirate twice in the last 6 months. Each time the order was easy to place, packed up quickly, and arrived within the timeframe promised. And each time there was a little note from Cindy! I will definitely order from The Wool Pirate again. 😊
So lovingly packaged, lightning-fast shipping, and the quality of the yarn is second to none! I've been coveting this yarn for awhile, so when Cindy kindly offered a newsletter discount to celebrate her birthday, I knew it was a sign to finally leap on the Duncan colourway. It's even more beautiful and sheepy in person, and I can't wait to knit a jumper with it. In the meanwhile, I keep a skein close by to cuddle as my emotional support yarn! Thank you, Cindy! I can't wait to shop at the Wool Pirate again very soon!
The yarn was very well packaged with a cute note. Shipping was also very efficient, I received my order in less than two business days! I would definitely order again.
Good and quick service
Everything as good as I expected or even better
Looking forward to explore more
The Wool Pirate offered a yarn I had been eyeing for a much more reasonable price than I had seen at my regular LYS. I will definitely shop here again!
Beautiful yarn. Super knowledgeable shop owner. My favourite LYS!
Cindy makes everyone feel special. Her orders are beautifully wrapped, accurate, and delivered very quickly. I highly recommend her service.
The Wool Pirate experience was amazing. The website is user-friendly and the order was processed quickly. Cindy is super friendly and helpful and made the whole experience. The Bamboo socks 100g is beautiful and Koigu wool is stunning. I highly recommend going to the Wool Pirate for beautiful yarns, wool and natural Fibre. As always, support local.
Great source for lovely yarns!
Online shopping was super easy, delivery faster than expected. The thank you note from Cindy included with the order along with a sample packet of SOAK (my next project to be blocked thanks you!) was a lovely touch-will definitely make The Wool Pirate one of my go-to sources for future projects!
Easy ordering
Delivery on time
I’ve used this Scottish yarn in the past and was eager to make the shawl recommended by your shop 🙂
great selection of yarns, and speedy delivery, will definately shop with The Wool Pirate again!
Contact with the owner was quick and courteous. She allowed me to add to an existing order which resulted in only one shipping charge. The mystery yarn package ordered was received I a timely manner. I was pleased with the colours and yarn provided.
Ordering was very easy & I got my order within 2-3 days. It was package nicely including a little sample of the Soak. The emails are very thoughtful & personal. The only bad review is the great deals that's very hard to reject. Great job! Love shopping here! :)
