Great shipping

Excellent yarn and a very good price. Loveknitting always has the best yarn and competitive pricing. Began shopping with them when I couldn't find Peter Pan yarn and found I could buy it on their website and it was very well priced. Since then when I want yarn, I go to LoveKnitting.com.

It want not the Lemonade as pictured but a Pretty Pink Yarn. This is a very popular color for my Doll Clothes that I knit and sell. Glad Love Crafts had it in stock. I will buy more again in the future.

Variety, well packed, and speedy delivery.

It was actually Sweet Pea, but it has been a good yarn to crochet. I purchased it and teal, when those colors were unavailable, locally.
