I really don’t appreciate that when I’m in the middle of a project their yarn has tied ends within the skein. The tails aren’t long enough to weave into my project leaving a highly visible knot that t... See more

Wonderful yarn that is easy to work with,
Great quality but splitting common.
Great quality cotton yarn (Coboo)..splits are expected and some sections of all 3 colors I ordered were splitting at times. I would recommend another yarn type for a true beginner as it would be really frustrating! Pleased with the quality of the dye.... Absolutely no white patches to be found!!! I used this yarn for a crocheted striped dress.
Lion brand yarn..
Lion brand always ships my orders quickly and so far I've always recieved exactly what I ordered. Yarn is always really lovely!
Love the quality of this yarn
Love the quality of this yarn. Been really impressed with every single item I have bought. A lot cheaper than I expected and international postage was reasonable. All in all will deffo be ordering again.
Ran out of yarn
Purchased a kit and ran out of yarn. Now what do I do? No yarn for trim.
Reliable
Reliable. Website is easy to navigate, merchandise is well packaged and delivered as promised.
Soft yarn with beautiful colors.
I love this yarn. I have made sweaters for myself and my family. It is soft as I knit, and soft when it is worn. It comes out of the washing machine and drier looking like it is new, which is an important feature because I knit a lot for children.

They managed to screw up the delivery address and although I contacted them right away(2-3 minutes). They said they had no way to change it or remedy it. The order was delivered to the wrong address and caused me a big headache trying to get it. I will never order from this company again.
Great variety and quick shipping from…
Great variety and quick shipping from this trusted company. Will purchase again. Love the Re-Up bundle yarn... the cone makes it so easy to use.
This company does not even deserve 1…
This company does not even deserve 1 star. They are very dishonest. The only reason they are in business is because they are sold in stores. The customer service is horrible and unapologetic. I bought two "kits" both stating under the description they came with videos, there were 100 percent no videos and the designers had the patterns for free on their website so basically they charged me a 121 dollars for 8 skeins, nothing else. I asked to make a return and they refused to send a return label and it took multiple emails for me to get the return address. I included the original invoice and a note and now they are saying I needed to include their return slip. I am not able to review their website because new reviews are not allowed. It keeps saying I need to purchase the listing. This is a very dishonest company. I wish I would have seen this Trustpilot page before making a purchase. I feel deceived and tricked into buying from them. I see why 59% of the reviews on this page are bad reviews. Not at all what they show on their website. The return is sent, I guess will have to contact Citi Bank to get a refund if they refuse to process a refund.
Perfect for Me
First, I got my yarn in a quick time frame....second, Mandela Cake yarn (my choice was Pixie) is turning into a beautiful blanket using a stitch I just learned....the tricot stitch. I will use this yarn more often!
Ine of the best online yarn shops!
The quality and ease of knitting with Lion Brand yarns gets better & better! I especially love knitting with their Heartland line. Their packaging & shipping are commendable and their website makes it easy to shop and purchase.
Beautifully soft and high quality
Wonderfully soft and high quality just perfect for my project can't wait to get started go to Lionbrand.com for quality yarns
According to the ad purchase 5 skeins…
According to the ad purchase 5 skeins for 12.00 and the reduction would come off at the checkout. Unfortunately it did not I contacted them immediately but they did not reply until the sale was over 24 hours later apologized to say the sale was over. They did nothing to resolve the issue. I feel they did nothing to assist me and I explained I would never purchase from them again. It hard to enjoy a yarn when you've had a bad experience
Quality Products
They have a great selection of yarn. Shipping was a bit slow but that is how smaller businesses are so I didn’t mind. I love their selection of easy to follow patterns. The Pima cotton is my favorite. It’s so soft.
Great selection and good prices
Great selection and good prices. Shipping is fairly quick too. Any time I've had an issue customer service was prompt, professional, and polite.
The yarn is beautiful
The yarn is beautiful, easy to knit with and the colours are stunning - I am hooked on Elm. I have already knitted 3 garments and a hat with it and am ready for more. It is pilling just a tiny bit and I have not experienced any splitting of the yarn while knitting with it. However, the yarn seems to very easily snag on zippers, jewelry etc.
