Happy chappie. The web site was having a bit a problem…

The web site was having a bit a problem day when I tried to place my order so telephoned, spoke to Debbie who was very helpful and friendly, sorted everything out and I received my order two days later (I had missed the order cut off for that day).
Brilliant, great service, many thanks.

Website

Basically your website is terrible. I then received multiple emails saying I had left items in my cart, this was after I had made my purchase. Then advised the ropes would have to be made and minutes later told my order had been dispatched. My order did arrive but oh my pull your socks up and get it all fixed.

Hi Im sorry about this. The website has just bee revamped so there may be some teething issues. I will get it looked in to. As regards your order, many f our items need to be made in house when not in stock. I think you must have been told it wasn't in stock, then they found some and sent it. So sorry about that. It is a one off. Kind Regards James

Good quality cotton twine

Easy to find what I was after on the website, I bought plain white cotton macrame twine that was on offer as only just starting to learn.
Easy to place order, received email notifications providing regular updates. Delivered quickly.
The twine is lovely to work with and as it is 100% natural cotton, should I decide to dye it different colours, the colours will take really well.
The twine goes unravel easily for fluffy and frayed ends/edges but for knotting, just wrap a bit of tape around where cutting and it holds together perfectly.
