Great experience as always

Great experience as always. Weirdly huge packaging for a small product, but as the last item of that size I bought was in better-sized packaging I assume they just ran out.

The purchasing and tracking experience was simple and clear, and the product arrived on time.

New knitter

As someone new to knitting, these kits have been awesome! Clear instructions, video tutorials and beautiful wool. I cannot recommend Wool & the Gang highly enough.

Delayed Delivery

The product is great. Deliver was terrible. It should not take 3 weeks to arrive. I did not get the kit until less than 48 hours before I needed to give it as a gift. I ordered based on 5 days max for order to ship, and 5 hours to complete. I’m a slow knitter, but I thought that I would have at least a few more days to knit. Contacted Wool and they kept telling me to check tracking. I did, and no help, just “delayed.” No delivery date posted.
Not sure that I’ll order here, again.

Hi Nancy,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and we’re really sorry to hear about your delivery experience. We completely understand how stressful it must have been to wait so long, especially when you ordered with plenty of time and needed the kit for a gift.

While we aim for smooth and timely delivery on every order, delays can unfortunately occur once parcels are with the courier, and we’re sorry this caused such inconvenience. USPS have encountered delays in delivering and issues with updating their tracking links. This is something we are currently reviewing ourselves.

Please don't hesitate to reach out if you need any assistance.

Best Wishes,

Very pleased.

All of the items were in stock and everything arrived in one box, on time. All the dye lots were correct as well. I was also concerned about the tariffs inflicted on imported items but WATG responded quickly to me.

Back to knitting

I just got back into knitting again and thoroughly enjoyed creating the hat package that I purchased the material was amazing however, I would have wanted a pattern without seam knitting circular in the round. If you have more patterns with this style of knitting, I would purchase another hat package.

I really recommend

I really recommend. I'm am experienced knitter but somewhat rusty. The clear instruction and easy to access videos are invaluable. The techniques have changed over the years. It's great to learn new skills
The wool is really nice quality.
If I were to offer some constructive feedback; the website could show all colour options for all pattern.

Packaging+, Raffia not so much

I like the packaging, and the instructions are easy to follow. However I find the raffia more difficult to use than had expected for a project rated as Easy. I'm off to a slow start: have had to frog my work a couple of times and I am hoping it gets easier once I can get a couple of rows behind me

Hero cardigan

Hero cardigan - as a relatively experienced knitter I thought this would be simple ! Nope, quality of the needles, wool and instructions all shocking, the finished article got 2 wears before it hit the bin, it pilled and bobbled, and at £133 with a discount an expensive mistake I will not make again, this really is a bit of a scam

Reply from Wool and the Gang

Hello Sian,

We’re really sorry you feel this way.

We always aim to deliver the highest quality of wool and to ensure our patterns are as accessible and enjoyable as possible, so it’s disappointing to hear the Hero Cardigan didn’t meet your expectations.

Regarding the pilling you experienced, we completely understand how frustrating that can be. Pilling is a natural process that can happen with wool products, especially in areas where the garment experiences friction. Sometimes even the knitting process itself (or carrying your project around in a bag) can be enough to cause early pilling.

We also want to reassure you that pilling is not a reflection of poor yarn quality. Because our super chunky wool is designed to be beautifully soft and luxurious, the fibres are looser than in a tightly spun or firmer yarn, which means pilling can occur more easily. This is very normal for this type of wool and can happen with any of our wool yarns.

Our team also has some very handy tricks to help manage and reduce pilling if it ever occurs, and we’d be more than happy to share those with you. If you'd like, please feel free to reach out — we’re always here to help.
