Bespoke wool dyed for me
Bespoke wool dyed for me! Joe kindly dyed me more wool, as I requested more of a certain batch. It is absolutely amazing and the turnaround was super quick! Joe is happy to help with any requests his customers have and goes out of his way to please them. Thank you.

Gorgeous yarns, will definitely buy again
I bought yarn in 4ply merino/nylon blend, in the colours Vivid Sunset, Autumn Leaves, Peacock, and Purple Rain. So far I've made two crop tops, one baby jumper, a pair of socks, and I'm halfway through another pair of socks now. The yarn base is really great to work with, no splitting at all, and great stitch definition. The colours are really bright, and so far, definitely do not fade with wash/wear, though when I first hand washed the peacock and vivid sunset garments I noticed a little bleeding of pink dye in the water, this has had no impact on the saturation of the garment. I have found that there is quite a bit of growth when garments are washed/blocked for the first time, especially with a looser tension, and this was more than I had experienced with other merino yarns, so any knitters if making garments knit and block a gauge swatch for this yarn! All my garments made with this have been absolutely fine going through the washing machine at 30 celcius which is a big positive for me. My only criticism would be that it would be helpful to see samples on the website of the yarns worked up in both crochet and knitting, because that makes it a lot easier to determine if its the desirable colours for a project, the autumn leaves colour knitted up was more yellow and less pink than I was hoping. But overall these yarns were amazing. The colours don't fade, its really lovely and soft to wear, next time I want some bright colours I will definitely be buying more!

Soft yarn, beautiful and vibrant colours
Excellent yarn and fantastic customer service. I have ordered from Joe more than once and have always been impressed by the quality and rich colours of his gorgeous hand dyed yarns. He also custom dyed a sweater quantity for me, and the yarn shade was exactly what I was looking for. Highly recommend!

Unprompted review
Joe's colour ways are amazing!
Joe's colour ways look amazing, so I had to order! I purchased "Vivid Sunset" on 'that basic sock base.' Communication was clear and quick. I received my parcel (beautifully wrapped) really quickly (amazing during slow parcel times!). Great yarn to work with; the colour is so vibrant! It's hard to capture it in pictures, but I just finished knitting a pair of bright and cheerful socks. Will definitely buy from Joe again!
