Crocheters beware!! Don’t order Firefly Yarn Co

What I ordered vs what I got!

Paid over $40 for beautiful black shimmer yarn.

I contacted them about getting the wrong thing a mod they assured me I received the correct yarn. What do you think?? They offered $3 for my trouble. Then $6. I still declined and asked a full return. They said take it or leave it. Ok. But they can’t stop me from warning you guys. It took over 30 days to get my order. It started off in Ireland and then when it showed up it was sent by Mary in Elk Grove Village IL

Go figure!

3/10 Edited to

... Read moreAs an avid crocheter, I understand the frustration when a yarn order doesn't meet expectations, especially after waiting weeks. Firefly Yarn Co's handling of this order left me disappointed. Not only was the yarn not what I ordered, but the shipment's unusual shipping route—from Ireland to a location in Elk Grove Village, IL—added to the confusion and delay. The customer service response was equally frustrating, dismissing my concerns and offering only small compensation without a real solution. This experience reminds me how important it is to research yarn companies before purchasing, focusing on those with consistent quality and dependable customer support. Waiting over a month for a shipment, only to receive the wrong item and struggle for a refund, dampens the joy of crafting. For fellow crocheters, my advice is to check reviews thoroughly and confirm return policies before placing orders. If you encounter a similar issue, document all communications and remain firm about your rights for a full refund. Reliable suppliers will value customer satisfaction and transparency. This experience taught me caution and the importance of community feedback to protect your crafting investments. Always prioritize vendors with proven track records to avoid wasting time and money on subpar service.

The brand is King Cole. You got a knock off. The King Cole brand will be the real thing. I found their website and I think this is what you’re looking for: https://www.kingcole.com/product/firefly-aran

Looks like you either bought a knock off since your product is missing the “brand name” and packaging or the seller is using AI.
