Wildflower Yarn Reviews 41

I used to love Wildflower yarn but the last two orders have been really disappointing. There seems to be an issue with colour saturation or quality control where skeins looks very unlike ones on the website. This used to be great but for some reason has dropped off sharply this year. Maybe it is an issue with dye saturation or water chemistry changes. My second to last order had very pale yarn and I could hardly tell multiple colours apart in the gradient set and had to redye several. The order in total was over a hundred pounds and I was so disappointed.

I then decided to try again and the next order had very pale disappointing colours too and it took a long time to save up for the previous order. I understand handdyed yarn has natural variations and love the idea of buying from a fellow disabled artist, but having just received a colour of the month with a greyish colour and a few tiny pink and blue speckles that don't look like the pictures I will not be ordering from them again.

Such great yarn, beautiful quality and the owner Caoife is a sweetheart, spent an hour walking me through colour choices, for a project for my granbaby

Wonderful yarn, beautifully packaged, fantastic quality and amazing seller!

If you are wondering whether to buy this yarn, just do it! You’re supporting a small business and purchasing a fantastic product.

Beautiful great quality yarn , and fantastic customer service. Will definitely be buying from this seller again *****

Very happy with the service, and yarn from Wildfloweryarn! Very responsive to queries, and lost parcels (due to royal mail strikes). She sorted it all out, amid great stress.
The yarns are beautiful, as always, and I would/will happily purchase from her again, with confidence.

Great customer service and beautiful yarn. Will definitely buy again.

Sorry I still can’t really give a review, has I hadn’t received the first parcel; it went to another area even though it had my address on it and the post office handed it to a stranger with no proof 🤷‍♀️ I did try to sort it out but had to get intouch with wildflower yarn ; who is dealing with it, but up to now no yarns 😢 . This is the first time this has happened to me. It wasn’t the seller’s fault it was delivery

Great yarn and customer service. Caoife was easy to contact and sorted out my delivery issues without any problem. I have bought yarn from her before and will definitely be buying again.

Really amazing yarn, it’s super bright and just so soft like a baby lamb, I bought 2 sweater quantities and Caoife was amazing, she helped me choose colours and patterns, can’t fault her customer service 5*

This was a business transaction that went poorly. This is about me not receiving my order of October 29, 2022 that was paid for on October 29, 2022. This is about the shop owner not packaging and shipping my order in a timely manner on its own. And when I asked about this order I got vague email responses and I was too afraid to be more assertive and ask where my yarn was and why it had not been mailed yet. And when I did ask for a refund, I was attacked by the shop owner in her email responses, so I was right to be concerned and afraid. This was very upsetting.

I ordered 4 skeins of hand-dyed yarn from Wildflower Yarn, from the ready to ship sweater quantity page, on October 29, 2022. I would not have ordered this yarn if it had not been on the ready to ship page as it would have taken too long to get it and I wanted it right away. It was to include free shipping by the shop owner. I have not received that order as of today's date (December 28, 2022), and I doubt I will.

If the owner had put this order in a shipping bag at the beginning of Nov and mailed it to me then, on its own, with proper postage that she paid for, since it was supposed to be free shipping, I would likely have received it. However, what she "said" she did was hold onto it until somewhere near the middle to end of November 2022 and then somehow "attached" it to a previously paid for order, for a yarn advent calendar, by a "postal band or strap" or something on the outside of that package! So basically she "said" she shipped two packages one on top the other in separate shipping bags but stuck together somehow.

This is absolutely ridiculous, in my opinion, and I was not aware she was planning on doing this. I had never heard of a postal band or strap. I did not agree to that or ask her to send my yarn this way. She decided to do this on her own, and I did not know about it until after it was mailed. It was going International from the UK to Canada.

I have all the emails and documentation, and yet the shop owner insists that my claim is without merit and refused to give me my money back. I have had to go to my credit card company to initiate a dispute of this transaction because I do not believe that this package, if it was shipped in the way she says, will ever arrive. I believe now that there was likely no postage put on the order/package that went missing and she was trying to "piggyback" it onto my other order so she wouldn't have to pay for the free shipping cost she offered on my extra yarn order. Otherwise, why not just put it in the mail with postage on it on its own.

There was nothing attached to the outside of the red plastic bag containing my yarn advent calendar order when it arrived November 28, 2022. There was no visible indication that anything had been attached to the outside of that bag either. There was nothing that indicated that this was 1 of 2 packages on the red mailer.

When I contacted her on December 7, 2022, to ask for a refund of my money, since I did not receive my order, she refused. Her two emails on that date were angry, blaming/shaming type of emails. She did not apologize for the problem with my order, which she was responsible for mailing, since it is her business. It seems it is always someone or something else's fault, not hers. I have never spoken to her, just emails.

My order was placed in October, long before any personal problems that she has mentioned on Instagram happened. I feel it was very unprofessional to blame a customer for what was clearly her responsibility no matter what is happening in her life.

I have heard nothing from her since then. She blocked me from her Instagram account (I have no idea why) on the same day I asked for my money back!

At this point, I would just like my money back. I don't want the product now, as dealing with her has been so unpleasant and there is way too much drama for me. When I order from a yarn company, I want it to be easy, stress free, and pleasant, and this was definitely not! As I told the owner in my last email, it is not enough to dye beautiful yarn, you also have to be accountable and professional.

Such a amazing advent, the yarn was so soft, the colours are amazing, thank you so much Caoife, you can see the care and love that went into it

I don't whether you've got my postal address wrong....but I still haven't received my 2 skeins of wool...so unfortunately for you guys I would like a refun of the money I paid for the wool...first time ordering..and the last...I'm quite disappointed.

Well worth the wait!! Presentation of advent is great. Yarn is soft and swishy in many lovely colours. Communication about order was regular and honest.

My first time purchasing a yarn advent calendar and what a joy it's been! The yarn and colours are just fabulous and I can't wait for next years!

A little hiccup at the beginning but it was dealt with promptly and I received my order quickly. Lovely wool!
My mum knitted me a pair of socks and she said it was lovely wool to use!!

Beautiful colours and super soft yarn. Very much appreciated the stitch marker and cup of yorkshire tea! Ill be a returning customer. Thanks again!

Beautiful yarn!!!! Slightly late due to current postal strikes and when contacted to ask if any tracking the seller was really helpful and replied quickly.

I was honestly gobsmacked when I opened my parcel. The yarn was so incredibly vibrant, and soft to touch. I just sat staring at it for ages. When I wound it into balls it was just as beautiful. I call it happy yarn because everytime I look at it I smile. Just what I need. Thank you, I will be ordering again

Gorgeous yarn so pretty excellent service arrived quickly
