It was exactly as expected and identical to representation. I can't wait to use it!
Very nice silk thread, thank you
All the items I purchased were in perfect shape and were exactly what I was looking for. Thanks 🙏 so much!!
good!!! thank you! Delivery was fast and it was well packaged!!
Very interesting, unusual natural yarn! I like to experiment but see something like it for the first time. I bought different types of linen, cotton and silk yarns thinking to combine them in one summer outfit (including this one.) But Im not sure if this one will serve the purpose. Nevertheless, Im excited! The quality of the fibers are exclusive! I going to try to knit a lace summer beret and a bag out of it (to complete my outfit) Lets see. \n\nDebbie, I will send you a photo. ;) Thank you!
