I have been dealing with Love Crafts for years and it has always proved to be a very pleasant and satisfactory experience. My recent communication with Brianna was no exception. I can describe her replies to my query as having been most courteous, prompt and very useful.

Outstanding customer service

Outstanding customer service. I’ve bought from them a few times and have always been really pleased with the products and service. My most recent purchase was left in my blue bin while we were on holiday (by Royal Mail - lovecraft were not at fault) and my neighbour put the bin out to be collected. I contacted lovecraft and they sent me a replacement. Really can’t argue with that!

Good quick advice & effective help.

I got stuck & didn't understand the patterns instructions. I contacted the Smiles team at Lovecrafts, explained the problems & asked for help. Julie responded very quickly, & gave me excellent clear advice, to help me out. It worked! Thank you so much.

Yarn quality unacceptable

I am a largely housebound senior citizen who enjoys knitting stripey socks. I chose two Paintbox balls in fair isle pattern, my first order from you, and when they arrived was bemused to see how thin the yarn was. Nowhere on the label did it say what ply the yarn was. Simply calls itself sock yarn. Regardless I started to attempt to cast on to my 3mm dpns which was simply impossible with this yarn proving slippy, twisty and thin. Trying as I might it was not possible to keep stitches tight between pins. I then tried using thinner pins then tried casting on using one needle then slipping onto dpns, with the same horrible results. I do not have access to circular needle. After two days of effort I accepted a dreadful looking rib thinking it would look better on the stocking stitch - it doesn’t. The yarn is thin, spacey, nothing warm looking about it and it is simply not worth persevering. There is no enjoyment and no likelihood of a wearable sock. I don’t understand how this yarn can be 75% wool. What kind of sock is it supposed to be used for?

I cannot think to start trying to find out how to go about sending it back and trying to get a refund so will just put it down to a bad experience and avoid. Your firm in future. LA, Perthshire.

Hello Lorna,

Thank you for reaching out with your feedback on the Paintbox Yarns Socks yarn that you received. I'm very sorry you were disappointed with the weight of the yarn!

You can find it noted on the product details on our site that this is a 4 ply yarn. I completely understand how difficult it can be selecting a yarn online. Due to this, we do our best to offer a hassle free returns policy. I have sent you an email with further information regarding this.

If you ever need assistance with finding the perfect yarn for your project, please don't hesitate to reach out. I'm always happy to help!

Best wishes,
Brianna and the LoveCrafts Team

I contacted the Lovecrafts team for help understanding a pattern I had bought as a download. The team responded very quickly & kept me updated as to their progress. Sadly they were unable to contact the seller but very quickly refunded me the full price of the pattern. I found them very helpful and though I still can’t knit the pattern I am pleased not to be out of pocket.

Hello Jackie,

We appreciate your feedback and are truly sorry for the frustration this situation has caused!

From what you've described, it sounds like your parcel was shipped out as expected, but unfortunately, it was likely misscanned on the courier's side. This can result in no tracking updates showing, even though the parcel is still moving through the system. Since there was no visible progress, we issued a refund promptly to avoid keeping you waiting.

I’ve tried to locate your order but haven’t been able to find the details based on your feedback. If you need any further assistance or would like us to pass your experience on to our shipping partner for review, please don’t hesitate to get in touch - we’d be more than happy to help.

We’re very sorry again for the inconvenience and truly appreciate your feedback.

Best wishes,
Julie and the LoveCrafts Team

Great customer service!

After a less than happy yarn review about a cotton yarn that was too thin, Love Crafts’ staff very quickly made contact to find out what the problem was.
I was asked to return the yarn postage-free, for a refund. Nobody could ask for more!

I placed a high dollar order and it was timely shipped to me but I never received the multiple packages. I contacted Love Crafts and they have replaced all the missing packages. I have received two of them already! The others have been sent! This was NOT an error on the part of Love Crafts. It was either delivered to the wrong address by the postal service or stolen at my rural box. They have been wonderful to deal with!

I would not give this company 1 star

I would not give this company 1 star, but let me say that I do NOT recommend this company.

Dismal experience and I will not support them again. I see Facebook has many, many negative reviews and it is my fault for not researching them before placing my order.

Hello Anita,

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. I’m truly sorry to hear that things didn’t go quite as you hoped. I see you reached out regarding a refund for the digital patterns you purchased. Just to clarify, these patterns are generally non-refundable unless there’s an issue with the pattern itself. We always strive to make it clear in the product details that these are digital downloads, so everyone knows what to expect before buying. If you ever need any more information, please don’t hesitate to get in touch — we’re always happy to help!

I also noticed that my colleague shared some tips on printing your patterns through your pattern library or local print services. We really hope that was helpful! If there’s anything else we can assist you with or if you have any questions, please feel free to reach out anytime. We’re here for you!

Best wishes,
Julie and the LoveCrafts Team

Usually fantastic deliveries and I'm happy with the wool and patterns. I recently had only 1 ball missing and they couldn't have been more helpful and it's rectified.
