What our Customers say about our curated boxes

★★★★★

Loving the variety of color in the box, some bright and some subdued, and the differences in texture, softness, and fiber construction. Looking forward to working with some previously unknown to me yarns. What a delight to have on the shelf!

Well, I’m in 7th heaven, I received my Spring Taster Box! I enjoyed every minute of slowly unpacking it. Woolly Thistle, you’ve outdone yourselves!

Dolores
★★★★★

Even though I learned all about what yarns were going to be in this box it was such delightful surprise opening it and savoring each skein or ball. The colors are wonderful and perfect for me as I’m determined to expand my color palette. The suggested patterns are just right for “tasting” each yarn and experiencing their unique qualities. And the little sprinkle of trinkets was so sweet.Thank you for all the work you’ve done, once again, curating these treasures!
