From Whoa to Go they were fabulous

From Whoa to Go they were fabulous - a high variety of patterns to choose from - ordering was easy (once I waded through the International problems)then I was able to download the patterns very promptly - and how clear are they - every abbrev. is explained, every row is detailed and tips along the way. Then I had a courtesy email checking how I went with it all. LoveCrafts will be my site for evermore! I highly recommend them.

Satisfied customer

I had a problem with a purchase and it was resolved very quickly and entirely satisfactorily. I have always found the service from Lovecrafts to be very helpful. It feels as though you get a personal and understanding response.

Only buy from these if you're prepared for 4/5 spam emails a day, that no matter how many times you "Unsubscribe" they still email you weeks later, I made 1 purchase now I can't get rid of them

Hello Sian,

We’re really sorry if the number of emails you’ve received has been inconvenient. Please rest assured that making a purchase doesn’t automatically subscribe you to our newsletters - this is a separate option.

If you’d prefer fewer emails, there’s an “opt out to 1 email a week” option, as well as an unsubscribe link, both found at the very bottom of any of our newsletters. It may take a few business days for the change to take effect.

If you’re still receiving emails after unsubscribing, please reach out to us directly so we can take a closer look and make sure it’s fully sorted for you. Thank you!

Best wishes,

Great customer service

The person I spoke to was really friendly and helpful . I had made a mistake on my order and was immediately sent an email with a label to return the items . This is what I call exceptional customer service and their yarns are so good too , with plenty of choice !

Incredible service...over and above expectations

Incredible service...over and above what I expected.

Desperately needed clarification on some looming aspects of a badly written pattern I had purchased from the designer, (which I discovered via Google search for help with pattern), were also available on LoveCrafts website.

The pattern has frustrated me beyond measure - have ripped it back too many times to count already...

Had already emailed and messaged the designer with no reply.

Julie from LoveCrafts is incredible. She explained each one of my questions with clarity and detail.

I feel I can now face the next step of the pattern confidently.

Totally recommend LoveCrafts to anyone.

I will be purchasing on line patterns from LoveCrafts moving forward!!

Great service

Great service. I often order pattern downloads which are fast and easy to do. I have ordered yarn several times as well. I appreciate the great customer service. They make every attempt to get the same lot numbers when possible, which I appreciate very much! I get updates to shipping and right now we are having a postal strike so I've been updated about my latest order which is stuck in transit......but its okay because I know its worth the wait. I very much appreciate that I could work around getting my yarn shipped from the U.S with a tariff added.........my order is shipping direct from the U.K so thank you for that. Also, so I don't get an 'over weight' charge at the border, it has been shipped in 2 packages!!! I have had nothing but good experiences with LoveCrafts and will continue to be a customer.

Dear Debbie,
I’m so sorry to hear you haven’t received a reply yet! Julie actually sent you an email on Thursday, 2nd October with a detailed explanation about your pattern. It looks like it may not have been delivered or might have gone to your spam folder.
I’ve just resent Julie’s message, so please check your inbox (and spam, just in case). Also, please make sure your mailbox isn’t full. Let us know if you still don’t see it — we’ll make sure you get the help you need.

Best wishes,

Always out of stock

So I regularly buy the Paintbox yarn specifically in Aran weight and since about May the shade Kingfisher has been out of stock. I've got stock notification turned on. I crochet rainbow items and when I order, I order 8 shades 3 balls of each. 9 times out of 10 I can never complete my order as all 8 shades are never in stock at the same time. Today when looking only 3 of the 8 were in stock. I keep checking Love Crafts but I've gone back to my original supplier Wool Warehouse. Their Yarnsmiths range is the same price when both on sale and the shade availablity is insane in comparison. Disappointing but they obviously don't have very good stock control and cannot keep up or predict demand

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out with your feedback. I'm very sorry our Paintbox Yarns Simply Aran availability has caused issues when planning your rainbow crochet items!

I have checked our restocking information and we expect to have more Kingfisher Blue mid-late October. Kindly note, this is an estimate and does depend on our supplier's availability.

We have been working hard to improve our restocking timeframes and do hope you will check back with us. We hope to be able to serve you and all of your rainbow crafting needs in the future!

Best wishes,

Absolutely disappointed with my…

Absolutely disappointed with my paintbox yarn.
I ordered 3 balls and after the first two had several knots I contacted love crafts and they said they would send me one replacement ball and to tie the ends together. I opened the third ball and exactly the same so I had to order 3 more as the knots were looking horrible and this was supposed to be a blanket for my new grandson, I contacted them again and was told this happens and again was told to cut out the knots and tie the ends together, as a new knitter this was so disappointing and I feel my new venture to learn knitting has failed.
I would not recommend this company as 3 out of 3 balls of wool containing many knots is unacceptable

Hello Fiona,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I’m truly sorry for any frustration this has caused - we completely understand how disappointing it can be to come across knots in your yarn, especially in the middle of a project.

While knots are, unfortunately, an unavoidable part of the manufacturing process and not necessarily a reflection of quality, we understand how frustrating they can be. We appreciate you reaching out to us, and to help compensate for any yarn lost while working around the knots, we've sent you an additional ball.

That said, even with additional replacement skeins, we cannot guarantee they will be entirely knot-free, as this is a standard occurrence across yarn production. If you’d like any tips on how to work with knots in a way that keeps them less visible in your project, we’d be more than happy to help - just let us know!

Once again, we're sincerely sorry for the inconvenience, and we truly value your feedback. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if there’s anything else we can do for you.

Best wishes,
Julie and the LoveCrafts Team

Customer Service

Everytime I have a question on anything, they are quick to respond. I love the notifications on the status of my order and just the overall feeling on the wording in communications is as if they are equally as happy that I'm getting my purchase. The sales are wonderful, the colors of the yarn and patterns are true to website. Honestly, ordering from Lovecrafts is the best customer service experience than any other website I use.

I lurve Lovecrafts

I was having a lot of trouble finding the exact yarn I wanted and Lovecrafts noticed this and took a lovely personal interest in locating it for me. They informed me where it could be found, so great, but I kept finding difficulties and I (not good with technical stuff) but they made it very easy for me to order it.
This is just so typical of LoveCrafts and it seems nothing is too difficult for them.

Good service

I was not impressed with some wool and left my review stating this. I was then subsequently contacted and I sent various photos as requested and they refunded me for the wool I was not happy with without me even asking So I’m very happy with the outcome
