Love my new raffia
Love my new raffia! This is one of the sturdiest raffias I’ve found, making it an excellent choice for bags, hats, and more. Thank you, too, for offering such a wide selection of colors. They’re perfect for summertime projects!

It’s great!
Found this website when looking for yarn. I was starting crochet as a beginner but the kits have given me the confidence to try even more with my crochet, I never knew I could make so much! Highly recommend!

Great product

It is a clear pattern
It is a clear pattern, and the colour of the rafia is great.
The guide time is overly optimistic and the raffia gets in a mess far too easily.

Reply from Wool and the Gang
Hello,
Thank you for your feedback!
Due to the paper nature of this yarn you need to be careful when pulling the yarn from the ball, as unlike wool or cotton, the yarn is very smooth and can fall away from the structure of the ball quite easily!
The raffia yarn is held together with 2 strands of extra yarn which are tied around the outside of the ball to protect it. Both of these strands have knots in them, you can cut these strands or undo the knots to start the ball. I find it best to leave the ball band in place, and start working from the inside of the ball. Some people I know put it in a yarn bowl as well to help keep it tidy, or a small project bag where it doesn't have space to move around.
We hope this helps!
Best Wishes,
Customer Service | Wool and the Gang

Beautiful yarn and packaging.

Great service and product
I love the kits I have bought, the wool is fabulous and very good to knit with . I have made 4 scarves and a baby jacket. The packing is excellent and the kits provide all that you need for the project.
I love the colours. The only downside is that it’s expensive so I can’t buy as much as I want .

Happy Shiny Cotton is fab!
I’ve only used your Happy Shiny Cotton which I love! If you really want my opinion, I wish you did top down in-the-round patterns! I hate sewing pieces together.

Unusual style of writing a pattern
Wool seems nice but haven't washed it yet. The wool can split. Pattern is strange there are few measurements. Sizing is worked out by number of rows so you need a row clicker. No photo of garment so that you can compare pattern.

This definitely did not seem like a beginner project as indicated in the description. Still fun to try!

Can’t wait for my next project
I’m now knitting my second Wool and the Gang project and I love the quality of the yarn and the challenges the patterns offer. Can’t wait to chose a third.
