Dear Irina,
I was so happy with the needles I ordered a few weeks ago that I decided to order some more - not many people knit here in tropical Singapore so it's difficult to find supplies. Thanks a lot for your great service!
Kind regards,
Gunilla

Hi Irina,

have received my bamboo needles today. They are such a pleasure to hold! Very good quality - it will be happy knitting indeed.

Kind regards, Jacqueline

Dear Irina
I just wanted to let you know I received my circular knitting needles last week and had to say thank you for the supper quick delivery and excellent quality of the needles, as always. They've already been put to good use, they are a perfect length and very smooth and are some of the best needles I've used. I've already got a full set of your double pointed needles and wouldn't consider using any others now.
We are very quick to critisize and complain these days, but I always like to compliment when it's due so well done and keep on supplying your excellent
products.
Many thanks
Wendy

Dear Irina,
I just wanted to say how delighted I am with the 9" Bamboo Knitting Needles
- it was such a joy to find short needles. I have now ordered some bamboo
crochet hooks, and, am telling my knitting friends about your site.
Thank you,
Rose

But just to say that once again the service you give is the best I have come across.

I ordered on Sunday, got despatch note Monday, and on arrival home from work a package of needles are waiting for me.

Thank you very much for your service and also the prices you charge.

Best wishes

Ann

Dear Irina
Your service is superb, I've recommended you to my knitting friends so hopefully they should be ordering from you soon. The order, made on-line on Sunday, dropped through my door on the Monday, fantastic. Keep up the good work.
Thanks, Tish

How fast do you deliver ... extremely fast all in a nice jiffy bag so postman can pop it through the door ... thankyou for a brilliant service and will be ordering again very soon ..... Sue x

Thank you for my 15 pairs of bamboo knitting needles, which arrived very quickly.

I am very surprised to find there is no number 7mm, this is a size I use often.

Obviously you don’t know what size people use most often, but I would have thought

7mm would have been included and not so many small sizes (2, and 2.25 are very close in size )

I hope you don’t think I am being picky but I thought you would like feedback on your goods.Many thanks

Vivienne

Thank you very much for the set of short bamboo needles received yesterday – I have tried so hard to find short ones and now have a complete set. Your service was excellent. Many thanks. Jane

Just want to say a great big thank you for the knitting needle wrap I bought as a Christmas present. Fantastic service - I ordered on Sunday and it arrived Tuesday.

The wrap (which you describe as a case but it's much more exclusive than that!) is absolutely beautiful- what a find! I will certainly recommend your site to my sister who's an avid knitter and who, I'm sure, will love such an original gift.

Thanks again.

Regards

Barbara

Dear Irina

Many thanks

Liz

Hi, Thank you so much for my order. It was for a friends birthday & arrived in time. She was very pleased with the knitting needles.Many thanks,

Sheena

Dear Irina,

Many, many thanks ! The little packet with my order arrived this morning... so fast ! I'm pleased to confirm that the circular needle is the correct size, and I love the little crystals for stitch markers.

The bamboo needles are much better for making lace in 2ply, the slight friction from the bamboo stops the stitches slipping off so quickly in a delicate pattern, as happens with slippery metal needles...so I'm not forever trying to pick up a slipped stitch in complicated knitting that's slipped off the needle !

Thank you once again, Yours sincerely, Maria

Wow. that is amazing service! thank you so very much.Sorry I didn't leave any instructions, I did not realise that I had to that. I will reccomend you to all my knitting friends. I can't believe the speed, Complimenti.!!!!!

Very best wishes,

Patricia

Dear Irina
Thank you very much for such excellent service. Very rapid delivery, just in time as I'm about to start the next bit of my pattern.
Best Wishes
Mary

I received my bamboo needles kit last friday, five days after I place my order. That's great ! I love the needles, love the feeling of the bamboo, and I have already finished a pair of socks this week-end ! It is not that easy to find good AND beautiful knitting tools in France, and I am going to recommend you to my fellow knitter friends !

Many thanks

julie

I am really pleased with my needles, and I am very impressed with the speed with which they arrived! I ordered them one day and they arrived the next. Brilliant! Just what you want when you have a project you are itching to begin. I will definitly buy from you again.

Hi Irina

Just a quick note to let you know I have received my needles and case and I am very happy with both. I am also very impressed with your service after only ordering them yesterday and having them delivered today. I will recommend you to my friends and hope to shop with you again.

Thanks very much.

Amanda.

Dear Irina

Wow! what wonderful service. I placed my order one day, had an email to confirm dispatch on the same day and my ordxer arrived the following day. Thank you, I'll pass on your web address to friends.

much appreciated

Hi Irina,

Just had to write you this message.

I ordered 2sets of your bamboo needles yeaterdat afternoon, I recieved those needles at 8.15am this morning.

What a fantastic service. I will certainly be passing your business details onto others.

Thank you,

Lynn

Dear Irina,
Thank you for the great service in sending my 15 sets of circular needles so promptly, and also for replacing the one slightly faulty set immediately when you sent my needle case.
The needles are wonderful value and feel gorgeous. I also like the fact that the cables are not too thin - I find thin cables annoying as the stitches are so loose on them - but they are flexible enough to do magic loop knitting. If the cables were just slightly more slippery they would be perfect!
I love the needle case too, and I''m sure I will be ordering from you in the future.
Thanks again.
Jude

Hi,
Sorry to take so long to reply, but I would like to say that your service
was superb and I love knitting with the bamboo needles.
Thanks,

Hi Irina.....

Just a quick note to tell you how pleased I am with my last order of the 15 sets of Bamboo needles and beautiful satin case. I couldn't believe how quickly the order arrived here in Canada. Fantastic!!!!!Thus I am ordering some more of them along with another satin case

Thanks for being a perfect supplier, and I'll certainly shop here again.

....Jean

Hello Irina,
I just received my parcel and i cannot tell you how happy i am. Thank you very much. The needles and crochet hooks look and feel lovely.They are so light too. I can't wait to start some new projects. Can't believe it took just one week after ordering to reach me.
Am sure you'll see more orders from my knitter friends :)
Thank you once again.

I received my package of beautiful bamboo knitting needles yesterday, so thank you very much for your wonderfully prompt postage service.
I look forward to many happy hours of knitting, now that I have the right equipment. Bamboo beats metal every time.
Angela

Hi, I received the needles today, and they are brilliant.Knitting is so much easier, and as a senior citizen, I have found knitting very sore on the hands, and arms. I will look forward to picking up my knitting, from now on,as what you have said about them in your listing, was told to me, by my local wool shop. I have to buy some from you, for my sister, after Christmas, and I shall be recommending you, to any one I know, who does knitting. So thanks again, and a Happy Christmas and a Peaceful New Year.
Pauline
Hi Irina,
Thanks very much for the fast and efficient service. Needles within a couple of days, which was great this close to Christmas. Hope to be ordering from you again soon.

Hi Irina
Just wanted to say that the order arrived on the third - just 24 hours after I placed it! A lot of companies splash great customer service testimonials all over their website, but it's great to actually deal with one that consistently (this is my third order from you) lives up to their own claims!
I was also very impressed that the packaging fitted through my letterbox -as I work I am normally out when parcels arrive and it was a nice surprise, and very much appreciated, not to have to wait until I could get to the post office to pick it up!
Best wishes,
Caroline

Hi, received order, thank you for a very quick & efficient service.
Regards James

Hello. I just wanted to thank you for the very fast delivery of my order. I ordered a set of circular needles, a set of straight needles and a case. They all arrived 2 days after ordering, and I'm very happy with them. I shall certainly shop with you again.
Many thanks
Jane
Hi Irina
Sorry I am late posting this but felt I had to write something. I received my delivery of single point needles in the purple leaf case 2 weeks ago. What a wonderful service you provide. I ordered them on the Sunday evening and received them Tuesday morning. I am very pleased with my purchase and the case is beautiful. Will definitely be ordering again. I have not been able to knit as much as I would have liked recently due to painful arthritis in my fingers. I then read the post by Bridget a couple of weeks ago who had a similar problem. Prior to using the bamboo needles I was lucky if I could knit more than a few rows at a time due to the pain in my fingers. Since receiving and using these needles there is no going back. I have done so much knitting over the last 2 weeks to make up for time lost. With little pain. I have completed a hooded jacket for my grandson and am halfway through a sleeveless cardigan for myself. What can I say. Thank you again for allowing me to pick up my hobby again. I shall be ordering circular needles and stitch markers soon. You have some really pretty ones.
Thanks again Sharon

Dear Irina,
Thankyou for the Knitting needle case-it is lovely.
Best wishes, Brenda.

Hi Irina,
Just a quick note to let you know the knitting needles and case arrived yesterday.
I didn't expect them to arrive so quickly.
Thank you.Regards
Kathy

Dear Irina,
Just a quick thank-you for such speedy service in sending my bone\horn needles so quickly.
I first bought one of these on impulse when I got some bamboo dpns from you ages ago, and I can't recommend them highly enough: they make sewing up knitted pieces - the least enjoyable aspect of knitting in my opinion - almost a joy. They are beautifully smooth and don't snag on the yarn, making the process much quicker. Little things and they're not going to change the world but it's nice to be positive about something once in a while.
Thanks again, and all best wishes,
Jacqueline

I've come home today to find my order in the letter box. I'm very pleased.The service is excellent.
Many thanks.Best regards,
Sophie
Thanks very much for your swift and efficient execution of my order. I have received the goods this morning and I know the package will be well recieved by my wife on Christmas morning. Thanks again.
Dave

Hi,I received these today - I'm amazed by the very fast service! Thank you for a pleasant and painless transaction. I will recommend you to the other members of my knitting group (the Bolton Knitting Noras).
Cheers
Eadaoin

Hi Irina,
Received my order from you this morning. Really pleased with it, the needle cases are beautiful. I have brought them for Christmas gifts for a friend and my sister as I have been raving about bamboo needles to them both. Was tempted to keep them for myself, but instead I'm about to reorder.
Many thanks once again for your speedy service, this one didn't even take 24hrs!
Regards Wendy.
What brilliant service, I ordered a needle case and needles yesterday morning and they arrived this morning. The needle case is beautiful and my daughter is going to be thrilled with her Christmas present. I shall certainly recommend you to all my knitting friends. Thankyou very much
Sue

Hi,
I just wanted to say a great big thank you to you for your excellent service and quality. As a male knitter I've had a really hard time finding a needle roll which wasn't covered in flowers. I fell across your site and immediatly ordered one of your beautiful needle rolls. Boy was I suprised when having ordered it after 3pm, it came through my door the next morning.
I'm really impressed with the needle roll and will be recommending you to my craft group.
Many thanks,
Cayden

Dear Irina

I would just like to my add my comments to the testimonials on your website.

I was amazed at how quickly my needles were despatched and am thrilled with the quality. They are a fraction of shop prices!

I would recommend bamboo needles to anyone who has hand or joint problems. Whilst using ordinary needles a couple of years ago, after a gap of three years in knitting, I got excruciating pain in my left wrist. The swelling has never really gone down and as I am now 61, I blamed my age and stiffening joints. However, I read about bamboo needles in a magazine and recently tried them. I have so far completed several sets of dolls clothes for my grand-daughter with no pain! I have therefore replaced all my old single-pointed and double-poointed needles with bamboo versions and will eventually do the same with my circular needles and crochet hooks. They are so comfortable to use and the stitches don't "stick" on the needles.
