product is fine. customer service needs tweaking

Ordering is easy and it dispatched quickly. Unfortunately this time some items were missing from the order (it was a big order tbf) but going through the website's contact form didn't seem to get me anywhere. Eventually I found an actual email address (through the account/orders section) by the poor people the other end got my snotty self, because it was message number three or four nearly 2.5weeks after the initial order. They dealt with it and sent me most of the missing items. I gave up on the final one.

The products are fine. I get the impression this is a small company and you should still use them and support small businesses! This was probably a rare occurrence and I feel bad leaving an average review but the customer service side of the website needs tweaking. The web chat seems set to be in German, for example, despite the company being based in the UK.

The moment you walk in

The moment you walk in, you're enveloped by a sense of camaraderie among fellow crafters. The variety of yarn available is astonishing—everything from hand-dyed skeins to specialty fibers that I had never seen before.

I was particularly impressed by the staff’s willingness to assist. They took the time to chat with me about my knitting journey and provided recommendations that perfectly matched my skill level and preferences. It’s rare to find such a personal touch in retail nowadays.

It was a fantastic opportunity to meet other local knitters, share ideas, and even collaborate on projects. The atmosphere is incredibly welcoming, and I felt inspired by the creativity around me.

Beware returns cost 30% of purchase price

Difficult review - quick service but needed to return the yarn as colour not suitable. PLEASE BE AWARE the company retains 30% of the purchase cost if the goods are returned - no other yarn companies I've used do this. I will not be purchasing from them in the future.

Love this company!!

I live in the USA and it is so hard to find Anchor embroidery floss, we mainly have DMC. I found a headless horseman cross stitch pattern that was made for Anchor embroidery floss, I know you can convert the colors to DMC and get pretty close but I wanted to get the colors that it was ment to have as this is going to be a gift for my boyfriend. I was so happy when I found this companies website, it had all the colors I needed and was very reasonably priced. I was also very happy that even tho this company was outside the USA the shipping was extremely fast. Next time I get a pattern that calls for Anchor embroidery floss I'll definitely be ordering from here again!!! 😁

Recommended, recycled plastic packaging

My order was correct and came at a good time so thank you! I am not keen on the smelly recyled plastic packaging. Hopefully you will find a way to use biodegradable packaging : ).
I would order from hobby jobby again if I can find rowan yarn as the Drops splits often, not hobby jobbys fault though.
