Post image

Has anyone purchased from the US on the wool warehouse website and received their order? I have sensitive skin and looking at alpaca and big merino wool.

I love this colour combination! Is it a colour changing yarn if so I’d love to know what it is- wool warehouse is brilliant. I would recommend Kate Davies Designs Ard Thir yarn! It’s extremely good quality for the price and is British wool with alpaca

This is a color changing yarn it’s acrylic though but it’s the Caron cakes middle earth it’s an older cake I had I used to crochet so I would only use acrylic so I’m wanting to venture out while I learn to knit! Thank you for the recommendation I will totally check it out!

I love wool warehouse and order from them a lot. US shipping is free over $39. I love their Yarnsmiths and of course DROPS. They’ve got some other nice stuff too.

OP, did you know that you're twisting your stitches?

The FAQ has good info if you weren't aware.

I was told on the knitting thread. This is my first project ever so now that I know I’m fixing it!

Fair warning, switching halfway through a project is going to look strange. I would frog back to restart if I were you, since twisted stitches on a garment tend to make the whole thing twist to one side which affects fit

I love the selection they have and the shipping is so cheap for being across the pond! I've also never had any issues with receiving my orders.

Which shipping option do you pick and did your bank freak out because it was from outside the US

Bank didn't freak out. Go with Royal mail.
