Absolutely disappointed with my…

Absolutely disappointed with my paintbox yarn.
I ordered 3 balls and after the first two had several knots I contacted love crafts and they said they would send me one replacement ball and to tie the ends together. I opened the third ball and exactly the same so I had to order 3 more as the knots were looking horrible and this was supposed to be a blanket for my new grandson, I contacted them again and was told this happens and again was told to cut out the knots and tie the ends together, as a new knitter this was so disappointing and I feel my new venture to learn knitting has failed.
I would not recommend this company as 3 out of 3 balls of wool containing many knots is unacceptable

Hello Fiona,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I’m truly sorry for any frustration this has caused - we completely understand how disappointing it can be to come across knots in your yarn, especially in the middle of a project.

While knots are, unfortunately, an unavoidable part of the manufacturing process and not necessarily a reflection of quality, we understand how frustrating they can be. We appreciate you reaching out to us, and to help compensate for any yarn lost while working around the knots, we've sent you an additional ball.

That said, even with additional replacement skeins, we cannot guarantee they will be entirely knot-free, as this is a standard occurrence across yarn production. If you’d like any tips on how to work with knots in a way that keeps them less visible in your project, we’d be more than happy to help - just let us know!

Once again, we're sincerely sorry for the inconvenience, and we truly value your feedback. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if there’s anything else we can do for you.

Best wishes,
Julie and the LoveCrafts Team

Customer Service

Everytime I have a question on anything, they are quick to respond. I love the notifications on the status of my order and just the overall feeling on the wording in communications is as if they are equally as happy that I'm getting my purchase. The sales are wonderful, the colors of the yarn and patterns are true to website. Honestly, ordering from Lovecrafts is the best customer service experience than any other website I use.

I lurve Lovecrafts

I was having a lot of trouble finding the exact yarn I wanted and Lovecrafts noticed this and took a lovely personal interest in locating it for me. They informed me where it could be found, so great, but I kept finding difficulties and I (not good with technical stuff) but they made it very easy for me to order it.
This is just so typical of LoveCrafts and it seems nothing is too difficult for them.

Good service

I was not impressed with some wool and left my review stating this. I was then subsequently contacted and I sent various photos as requested and they refunded me for the wool I was not happy with without me even asking So I’m very happy with the outcome

I have been dealing with Love Crafts…

I have been dealing with Love Crafts for years and it has always proved to be a very pleasant and satisfactory experience. My recent communication with Brianna was no exception. I can describe her replies to my query as having been most courteous, prompt and very useful.

Outstanding customer service

Outstanding customer service. I’ve bought from them a few times and have always been really pleased with the products and service. My most recent purchase was left in my blue bin while we were on holiday (by Royal Mail - lovecraft were not at fault) and my neighbour put the bin out to be collected. I contacted lovecraft and they sent me a replacement. Really can’t argue with that!

Yarn quality unacceptable

I am a largely housebound senior citizen who enjoys knitting stripey socks. I chose two Paintbox balls in fair isle pattern, my first order from you, and when they arrived was bemused to see how thin the yarn was. Nowhere on the label did it say what ply the yarn was. Simply calls itself sock yarn. Regardless I started to attempt to cast on to my 3mm dpns which was simply impossible with this yarn proving slippy, twisty and thin. Trying as I might it was not possible to keep stitches tight between pins. I then tried using thinner pins then tried casting on using one needle then slipping onto dpns, with the same horrible results. I do not have access to circular needle. After two days of effort I accepted a dreadful looking rib thinking it would look better on the stocking stitch - it doesn’t. The yarn is thin, spacey, nothing warm looking about it and it is simply not worth persevering. There is no enjoyment and no likelihood of a wearable sock. I don’t understand how this yarn can be 75% wool. What kind of sock is it supposed to be used for?

I cannot think to start trying to find out how to go about sending it back and trying to get a refund so will just put it down to a bad experience and avoid. Your firm in future. LA, Perthshire.

Hello Lorna,

Thank you for reaching out with your feedback on the Paintbox Yarns Socks yarn that you received. I'm very sorry you were disappointed with the weight of the yarn!

You can find it noted on the product details on our site that this is a 4 ply yarn. I completely understand how difficult it can be selecting a yarn online. Due to this, we do our best to offer a hassle free returns policy. I have sent you an email with further information regarding this.

If you ever need assistance with finding the perfect yarn for your project, please don't hesitate to reach out. I'm always happy to help!

Best wishes,
Brianna and the LoveCrafts Team

I contacted the Lovecrafts team for help understanding a pattern I had bought as a download. The team responded very quickly & kept me updated as to their progress. Sadly they were unable to contact the seller but very quickly refunded me the full price of the pattern. I found them very helpful and though I still can’t knit the pattern I am pleased not to be out of pocket.

Hello Jackie,

We appreciate your feedback and are truly sorry for the frustration this situation has caused!

From what you've described, it sounds like your parcel was shipped out as expected, but unfortunately, it was likely misscanned on the courier's side. This can result in no tracking updates showing, even though the parcel is still moving through the system. Since there was no visible progress, we issued a refund promptly to avoid keeping you waiting.

I’ve tried to locate your order but haven’t been able to find the details based on your feedback. If you need any further assistance or would like us to pass your experience on to our shipping partner for review, please don’t hesitate to get in touch - we’d be more than happy to help.

We’re very sorry again for the inconvenience and truly appreciate your feedback.

Best wishes,
Julie and the LoveCrafts Team

Great customer service!

After a less than happy yarn review about a cotton yarn that was too thin, Love Crafts’ staff very quickly made contact to find out what the problem was.
I was asked to return the yarn postage-free, for a refund. Nobody could ask for more!
