My goodness people can be difficult! Of course it’s only one skein of yarn you are purchasing unless you select multiples🙄. No need to change anything. Love your podcasts
Thank you ☺️🙏
I agree! But since some people are/want to be so obtuse, I think I would add “per skein” after the price just to eliminate any confusion at all. Sad to have to go to such lengths,but better to be “protected” in that way from this kind of laughable complaint.
I would expect only one skein of yarn unless I selected a larger number. How unfortunate that the customer didn’t talk to you before giving one star. That being said, you can’t please everyone. The new yarns look divine! Love the new blues and that lovely light brown you are planning to make a shawl from. As you said, I like a little interest and challenge too, but some ease to knit mindlessly too. A bit of everything- the texture would be amazing, I am sure.
I would love to test the plus size sweater but I always find that there is not enough time given for test knits, especially for plus sized women. I don't know how much time you give but I think you said the US testers would have a week or two? I work full time and have a family to take of so I would a month or two, not a week or two. Sorry I can't help. I hope you found some testers that can do it for you. It's a beautiful sweater!! 😍 I'll have to make it after it's released.
I can’t believe some people. She obviously isn’t used to buying yarn on-line. Regarding patreon, I don’t do any of that because there are too many wonderful people out there and I can’t afford to support you all. What I can do is watch the adds, or let them play so at least you get a little something. I totally understand why you would move to that platform but I personally will miss your videos. I love seeing your country etc. through your eyes.
Thank you for your respons :)
I would not move my entire channel to patreon, only my vlogs. My regular podcasts will stay :)
I am so glad to hear you enjoy the content!
I understand and that’s the part I would miss.
Glad to spend some time with you even if virtually!! I’d rather come to your knit night!!
Your Njord colourway is absolutely stunning!!
Thank you, Selma 🙏☺️ you are welcome any day 😘
I normalt never give reviews, but Will hurry to give you all stars Camilla. Do not chance anything…of course it’s only one skein. About your bags, I would gladly make a preorder. Just love it
Thank you, Birgitte 🙏☺️
Why would anyone think they would get four skeins for the price shown? Unbelievable. I love the colors in the new yarn. Beautiful!
Thank you so much for your comment ☺️🙏
Love your work and podcast! I would join you on Patreon for vlogs for sure….your vlogmas is my fav! ❤🧶
Thank you!
Thanks for sharing all of your lovely yarn with us. I can't believe that anyone would give you a bad review. I have shopped your website a few times and everything is extremely clear. That is unbelievable that anyone would think they get four skeins...first of all for the price of one and second of all where they have to choose the number of skeins they want. That is clearly someone just looking to find fault...don't change anything!!!! As for what brings me joy when I am knitting...I really enjoy a bit of lace. I find that when I am knitting the same thing over and over, I get easily distracted so I like it when I have to pay attention to a pattern. I tend to forget about everything else except my project. I am going over now on trust pilot and giving you a review😍. Hope you enjoy your weekend and take care!
Thank you so much, Pat! For all of your kind words, feedback and review! I appreciate it !
Your website is very clear about how many quantities a person wants to buy. Because you showed how variable your hand dyed yarn is, is not related to purchase quantities. That person is a bully. Your podcast for me is seeing how you run your business, experience life in a country so different from mine, and your enthusiasm for knitting. I really enjoy your blog.
Thank your for your kind comment!
I’m so sorry to hear about the bad review - that’s totally undeserved as your website is very easy to navigate and clear about what you get when you order: put one skein in your cart and you will receive one, order a yarn kit and you will receive multiple skeins as stated in the description. 🤦🏻♀️ Lovely episode as usual and beautiful yarn of course! Gotta go now and head over to your shop to leave a five star review ❤
Thank you so very much. That is so sweet of you 🙏🙏☺️☺️
I have ordered from you three times now and I have just given a 5star review on my latest purchase. Your website is crystal clear!!! It’s such a pleasure to shop with you ❤️
Thank you so much 🙏 I appreciate that ☺️☺️☺️
Oh no!!! I will not stand for one of the nicest people on TH-cam to be given a bad review because they don’t know how to place a yarn order!!!😮😮😮😅😅😅
The people that watch you, follow you, and by your products absolutely adore you and realize how much hard work time and effort goes into what you do !! People would not be happy unless they had something complain about. Please ignore that comment and read all the other comments that you are going to receive from your last TH-cam video letting you know how much we adore you.
You keep doing everything exactly the way you’re doing it. Sending nothing but heartwarming, thoughts, encouragement, and love from the USA.
Thank you. Your comment made me so happy. That is so kind of you 🙏☺️
Dear Camilla - love the new patterns coming out. I will leave you a review as well.
Thank you so much, France. You are such a great support!
I haven't had the financial opportunity to purchase your yarn but I can say, the review is based on User Error. This may have been a first time buyer of hand dyed yarn because most knitters know you can't buy a bundle of yarn for 29.00. Your site is very clear and I compared to three other sites of hand dyers, and they sometimes have 10+ skeins of yarn in the background and one skein up close. I would not expect to receive more than one skein for $29. I hope you get tons of positive reviews because you deserve it. Not only that, customers should always take the opportunity to contact the seller to resolve or answer inquiries. She should have asked before she purchased. Sorry, not sorry, for getting on the soapbox but it boggles my mind when people don't think before they speak.
I appreciate your feedback. Thank you for taking your time to both a research and a comment 🙏☺️
Thank you, always a pleasure to watch
Thank you 🙏☺️
I would gladly sign up for Patreon. You put in a lot of work into this and I would support you financially.
Thank you for showing the variety of colors for your new sweater.
Thank you so much 🙏☺️
Nothing wrong with your website. Let it go 🧡
Thank you Annemieke!
I would definitely love to preorder one of your LARGE bags!!! Beautiful!! ❤ I enjoy your podcasts immensely!!
Thank you so much 🥰
Oh, I love your new stripey pattern! I spend a lot of time thinking about what makes a knitting project the most enjoyable for me. I have to find the magical sweet spot of loving the colour and yarn and how it feels knit up, an enjoyable pattern (the rhythm and progress moves along) and that I really want to wear it. :). I would definitely join your Patreon Camilla, I miss your vlogmas so much.
Xoxo
Thank you so much, Sandy!
I feel the exact same way when it comes to an enjoyable knit.
And thank you for your patron idea support, it is very much inspired by you 🙏🍁
What a difficult situation for you. Your website is clear, no need to change it.
Thank you 🙏
Regarding the difficulty of finding testers for the larger sizes, I've seen at least one designer do the following. On the pattern page she lists all the sizes that she developed (I think) but the published pattern contains the sizes up to whatever was the largest one actually tested, or at least that's how I understood her note. Then she begins the pattern description (on the pattern page, not in the actual pattern) with a note that if somebody wants to knit the pattern in one of the yet unpublished sizes to contact her, they get the pattern for free, she's finally found her tester so afterwards she can publish the pattern with this size included and everybody wins. When I first saw this in a pattern description I thought it was a very smart solution, since then I've seen it in other patterns and I have the feeling that it was always the same designer but I simply can't remember who it was right now, and I might be mistaken and I may have seen this approach used by more than one person.
Anyways, just giving you an idea. Now off to watch the rest of the episode :)
Oh, and happy women's day!
Thank you for bringing that to my attention that is so clever!!
Happy women’s day 👊🏼
@@CamijoKnitDesign Thank you :)
I might be interested in the large size. I figure. I could wear it oversized. I am a 20-22 size.
Camilla, your website is very easy to navigate for this American who recently received a lovely skein of yarn. Very sorry you had to experience this. The new colors are lovely!!
Thank you so much!
Just a thought: Instead of changing the images on your website you could consider changing the default to 0 skeins and making it mandatory to specify the amount you wish to purchase - if your shop system can handle that ☺️
That is a good thought. Unfortunately that is not possible, but I like your idea. Thank you for that ☺️🙏
@@CamijoKnitDesign Didn't think it was a standard feature, but worth investigating ☺️ I'm pretty sure it's a single experience that you do not have to deal with except giving a proper answer to the review ☺️
I would say, the person who gave you a bad review wasn't used to shopping from indie dyers. Don't change anything...it's clear. I would be happy to pre-order your beautiful bag with feathers.. I love a lifestyle vlog, so would be open to patreon. It all depends on the price because of exchange rate.. look forward to pattern release for striped sweater. ..my preference for shawls is a Crescent shape with little or no pattern ...I think the star is the yarn... is this TMI? Be well❤
Thank you so much for your feedback on both the review and the shawl. It is so helpful!
I think a good name for the new blue color would be Caribbean.
Love that!
Lovely yarns as always! Oh come on! How did someone not know she was only getting 1 skein. When you order clothes online the model is wearing a whole outfit. Does she think she would get everything in the photo? I always reach out to a company if I have an issue before leaving a less than perfect review. Usually the issue is resolved and then the review is a 5 star experience
Thank you 🙏🙏☺️☺️
Wow, no it's not just you. It'scrazy that someone would think they'd get 4 skeins if they only pay for one. So sorry you got a bad review. I've loved the yarn I purchased from you -- so thoughtfully packaged and lovingly sent.
Thank you so very much for your support ☺️🙏
I like a shawl with a little bit of lace and a picot or scallop edge 😊 I always know you choose the number of skeins you wish to purchase.
Thank you for your shawl feedback ☺️☺️🙏
I would love Patreon ❤
I would love to become a patreon . I think that the person who gave you a bad review has never ordered on line before.Don’t change anything.
Thank you so much 🙏☺️
Please do not change your website. It is very clear. Your yarns are unique and show the care and effort you put into the colors and yarn quality. Creativity requires a lot of effort and it does not make business sense to think you are selling multiples of items for the price of one. And I love the feather design on the tote bag. 👍
Thank you so very much for your kind comment and support ☺️🙏
Thank you for a lovely video Camilla, your Mesiya base looks beautiful and the colours are gorgeous. On the matter of your 1 star review, I quickly checked out another couple of well known online hand dyed yarn stores (Hedgehog Fibres and La Bien Ami) they also have multiple skeins in their photos for their online customers. I hope you can appeal that review and have it removed. Cheers Chris 🦘🇦🇺😊
Thank you for your comment, Chris ☺️🙏
The Mesiya base is my favourite base. I can’t wait to design something in that ☺️🙏
Thank you, Camila! So beautiful yarn! Your website is very clear, don”t worry about that! There are people that critisize just because they can and hide under the lack of respinsability of online medium.
I really want to give you a 5* feedback, but I didn”t understand where I can do that. I looked on your website but couldn”t find. Could you, please, provide a link? Thank you! You are a very gifted artist and a wonderful human being! 🤗❤
Thank you so much 🙏☺️

@@CamijoKnitDesign Done! 🤗
Hi, first time finding your podcast. Love the feathers on the large bag. I would suggest putting up a preorder for the bag, maybe with a small first come, first surve discount of 5 or 10%, and that may give you an idea of how well they will sell. ❤
Thank you for your great suggestion, and welcome to my channel :)
Hello! thank you for another lovely episode. to answer some of your questions: 1. that blue you are wanting a name for - the first thing that comes to my mind is lagoon. I used to live in Hawaii and some of our lagoons were that color. 2. i would love to see your summer home and your vlogs are really relaxing. if you can be bothered i would love to watch. 3. regarding patreon, i would not subscribe. I understand the logic and the monetization of content, but i like to watch so much content it would cost me a fortune if i started signing up with everyone who has moved to patreon. I also think it excludes those on limited incomes or with tight budgets who have to pick from one thing or another. however, i totally respect it is your decision. :)
Thank you for taking your time to answer all my questions :)
I am not moving my podcast to patreon, it would only be my vlogs and mainly to protect myself. But I totaly understand the budget aspect.
love love your podcast, sometimes if I have a bad experience I don't give a review I just never order again. But I have never experienced anything but good from you. Maybe she just didn't check her oder before she checked out you usually have that opportunity to do so before placing an order so enough of that. Love your new design with the mohair I do have a question is it picky the mohair? And what yarn were you using for your melancholy sweater I love the design and color. The new colors were so beautiful can't wait to try them 😊 I just learned how to do baubles so maybe a few in your shawl pattern. Yes please take us to your summer house I enjoy the podcast when you take us places I live in the US so its always nice to go along. This was long 😊
Thank you so much for your comment, Ruth :)
I do not think the mohair is picky alt all. It is actually very soft and next to skin friendly. But we are all different, snd some ppl experience mohair to be picky :)
Du gør det skide godt med din butik, Camilla 🫶🏻🫶🏻 du kan ikke styre hvordan folk vælger at shoppe på din hjemmeside.. syntes du skriver det hele meget klart 😅🥰
Glæder mig til at kigge forbi din stand til Fiberfolk 👏🏻👏🏻
Tusind tak, Marie !
I posted a comment to this video and see that it is now gone. It was just in support of the yarn photos on your website and why I wouldn’t be able to join you on Patreon (I understand your reasoning but I just can’t do it financially with all my favorite podcasters). Sorry if it was misunderstood and taken down. 🌸
Thank you for your comment and for sharing your Perspective. I did not remove any comments, so I think your comment is still there?
@@CamijoKnitDesignI don’t see it but just glad to hear you didn’t take it down! LOL.
Instead of Darwin’s ‘Survival of the fittest’ which gave us the evolution of Homo sapiens - the most intelligent species ever to have existed on Earth, we’re now in danger of a complete 180 degrees turn where we all have to constantly sink to the lowest common denominator to help them survive. Your bad reviewer is a perfect example of this reverse evolution in action! Please ignore them. Your website is perfectly transparent and your yarns are amazing. I’ll be posting a review to counter their ignorance later this weekend. Thanks for all you do :)
Thank you for your support ☺️🙏
I truly appreciate it ☺️
I am so sorry u had bad review. It can sting especially if they did not give u a chance to respond. As for changing I know many here said no need o change and while for fellow knitter / yarn lover it is clear that it's 1 skein ... it might not be so for everyone. For example if u had 4 skeins and I believe your price is 150ddk. Well sometimes our brain does not register that it's for one especially if shopper is from another country where u brain sees 4 skeins and let's say 150 dollars. Unfortunately it is always your job to make it as clear as possible not only so u don't get bad review but also that u customer is not disappointed and will return. So maybe adding somewhere price per one skein would not hurt. Obviously that particular customer miss understood u. Sending hugs. You are doing wonderful job
Thank you much for your perspective. I appreciate that. I think you are right. She was an inexperienced buyer of hand dyed and misunderstood. I will take a careful look on how to improve ☺️🙏
See, THIS is why I just love you and your yarn business. You are doing a wonderful job. Sending lots of hugs and will be cheering you on for success. So proud of you.
Tak for en dejlig podcast, jeg syntes det er fedt du har flere fed på dine billeder, så man netop ved at garnet kan varierer, og man derfor ved præcist hvad man køber. Jeg har aldrig selv været i tvivl om at prisen er pr fed, men måske skal der stå “pris pr stk” bare for du undgår misforståelser 😄 har lige lavet en positiv anmeldelse på trusttpilot, da jeg kun har haft gode oplevelser med at handle hos dig 😄🌷
Tusind tak, Maria. Det sætter jeg stor pris på 🙏☺️
Søde Camilla - bliv ved med at gøre det du gør ❤ din hjemmeside er tydelig og man kan desværre ikke undgå at nogen kunder vil misforstå et eller andet. Jeg vil helt klart være med på patron hvis du laver det 😘 vi ses i Vejle 🤩🥳😍
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Tusind tak, Karen ☺️☺️☺️☺️❤️
I visited your website again for the purpose of seeing if a customer could reasonably misunderstand how many skeins of yarn they were ordering for the price stated. Short answer is yes, and here's why:
For each yarn for sale, there is a photo showing at least two skeins of yarn side-by-side. Most of the photos I saw showed just two skeins. The price appears under the photo, but the price does not include the words "per skein". While most shoppers might understand that the price is only for one skein, it is not unreasonable for a customer to think that they would be getting what's shown in the photo for the price stated below the photo.
The simplest way to remedy this ambiguity would be to add the words "per skein" along with the monetary amount stated. If the item for sale is a bundle, then of course the words "per bundle" would apply, and so forth.
Hope this helps.
Thank you so much for bringing this to my attention. I appreciate your comment and I will take this in to consideration.
I would like my webshop to be clear for every type of customer.
LisaR: It is NOT you . Anyone reading the comment will not count the rating left as valid . I'm going to your website, I love the colors you've created. I live in US , so hopefully I can order ;) will be happy to leave a review & comment ❤
Thank you so much ☺️
I love eyelets and maybe a picot bind off in a shawl
I love eyelets too. Thank you for your feedback 🙏
If you have to choose the number to add to cart it should be pretty clear that is the quantity one is buying. Agree with others - that person does not normally buy yarn 😅
Thank yiu for your respons 🙏
I love the blues. How about the name ocean. I love your vlogs.
Thank you! And that’s a great name suggestion 💙
Thank you for another lovely episode, always a pleasure.
Would love to follow you on patreon but I fibd the payments alway difficult.
Wishing you a sunny weekend and see you next time.🧡🧶
Thank you very much 🙏
That's a great idea with patreon❤ I am in
Thank you 😁
Thanjs for another lovely episode, always a pleasure.
Would love to follow you on patroon but I always find the payment difficult.
Wishing you sunny weekend 🧡🧶
Design elements for a shawl? To be honest, I do not like garter stitch, so my initial answer would be "anything but garter"!
Great answer 😆😁😁
Can you alternate feathers and skeins so they look similar? It will be like a where's Waldo.
Oh it's totally clear on your website about the price per skein-- that one person must not have bought yarn online before (or has other issues...)! Btw, will you be making more mega mohair in the sahara color way?-- it's very beautiful!!
Absolutely. Thank you for the request 🙏☺️
I think next to the price you write each on the web site. But no it isn’t you but we all think differently. So it is good to cover all the bases. It is good to look at other sites to see how they sell there yarn. Do they have more than one skein in the picture. Do they say each next to the price. I personally think I would expect just one skein.
Thank you for your comment :) I think most hand dyers do like I do :)
Helt ærligt Camilla - der er ikke noget på din hjemmeside, man kan være den mindste smule i tvivl om! Heller ikke om, at dine kvaliteter og farver er super lækre! Jo flere fed du fotograferer i samme farve, jo bedre! Jeg er lige kommet hjem fra en aften med Christine Feldhaus og Lærke Bagger (Strik og Drik) og deres åbning handlede om, at vi skal tale hinanden op og ikke ned! Den person, som med sin ene stjerne trækker dit snit ned, lærer måske med tiden, hvordan man handler på nettet - må vi håbe!
Tak for din kommentar, og din positive feedback. Det sætter jeg stor pris på 🙏☺️
Jeg forstår ikke, at folk ikke tænker på, at prisen kun er for 1 fed, det er jo håndfarvet 😮 Jeg har kun godt at sige om det, jeg har købt hos dig. Du farver så flotte farver. 😊
Tusind tak ☺️
For your new blue, how about Peacock!
Great suggestion 🦚🦚
I have ordered from you. The items were exactly what was represented. Perhaps the person is a new knitter. Just based on the price, I would know I was getting one skein and not four; there is a noticeable price difference. I do not know what Trust Palate is. Is it just the rating stars? Do I need to go to a certain website? Kim
Thank you for your comment, Kim.
I will provide a link here: www.trustpilot.com/review/camijoknit.com?TrustBoxReviewCollector
It is also at the bottom of my website, it is called Trust Pilot.
Hello from Swansea, Illinois
Hallo Illinois 😁
I would love to to join you on Patreon.
Thank you!
How about Topas for your new blue.
good name!
I would sign up for Patreon. X
Tak for dit afsnit. Øv, for en træls anmeldelse. Der er vist kun at sige, at lidt sund fornuft fra købers side ville hjælpe her. Jeg synes ikke du skal ændre billederne i din shop.
Jeg nyder at se din vlog.
Det ville være dejligt med en opskrift på et sjal til et fed. Jeg foretrækker et aflangt sjal med lidt mønsterstrik eller lidt lace.
Mange tak for din kommentar, Helle ☺️☺️
How about Mushrooms on the tote bag for the year of Mushrooms? ❤
That is such a good idea 😃😃😃
Tak for endnu et skønt afsnit 👏Nu har jeg været inde og give dig et review, der kan trække gennemsnittet lidt op 😊Jeg har kun gode oplevelser med at handle med dig. Når det så er sagt var der en dag, hvor jeg kiggede på din hjemmeside, jeg tror det var ved minierne, hvor der lå netop flere sammen. Først tænkte jeg, at det var helt vildt billigt, og skulle lige til at bestille, men der stod ikke, at det var et tilbud, og jeg synes, at jeg selv ræsonnerede mig frem til, at det kun kunne være for et, men ikke at det fremgik helt klart, at det kun var et 🤷♀️
Jeg elsker sjaler og dine keywords passede lige til mig fun, easy and interesting. Jeg har lige strikket sky sjalet fra Önling, og det er måske lige enkelt nok, men jeg nød at strikke det og er faktisk i gang med et til 😅
Når du er klar til at sælge din nye sweater i chunky mohair/ mega mohair ( har glemt hvad du kalder den 🥴) kan du så ikke lave nogle billeder med endnu flere combos og lægge på instagram. Jeg har nogle gange svært ved at forestille mig hvordan det vil se ud😬 Jeg synes dog den brune og peach så fantastisk ud sammen 🧡🤎
Jeg vil meget gerne se en blog fra dit sommerhus og patreon kan være interessant afhængigt af prisen 😊
Undskyld for min lange kommentar, men du stiller så mange spørgsmål 😅
God strikkeweekend 😊
Kære Helle.
Tusind tak for dit lange svar. Det sætter jeg stir pris på 🙏☺️
Du kan tro, jeg gerne vil lave nogle bud på gode farvekombinationer til den kommende Mega Stripe Sweater 😁😁😁
Tak for feedback mht minier. Det sætter jeg pris på
No, I don't think you should change your pictures etc.
You are describing yarn info.
So I think it is clear that it is only 1 yarn skein.
🙏☺️
Tak for endnu en herlig podcast🤗
Jeg ville ikke ændre noget på din hjemmeside pga. den dårlige anmeldelse, jeg synes den er helt off🤷♀️ Jeg håber du fortsætter her på TH-cam da jeg ikke har patreon😬
Tusind tak ☺️
Jeg bliver helt sikkert her på TH-cam med mine almindelige podcasts. Patreon var tiltænkt vlogs og det indhold der går lidt tættere på ☺️☺️
@@CamijoKnitDesign jeg nyder sådan at se dine Vlog’s
I am very sorry about your negative review and feel that it was not deserved. Clearly if one has any common sense at all one would know that a price point for say your BFL sock yarn is the price for a single skein. I think the intent of the review was mean-spirited and that she simply wanted a lot for practically nothing. I would not take this one to heart. In future you will know when or if a concern is warranted and if you should take steps to correct it. In the meantime you and your business are enhancing the beauty and joy in our knitting world. Chin up. ❤
Thank you. That is very kind 🙏☺️
I would love to test your sweater in the large size, but I really cannot afford the cost. It would be over $200 Cdn for me and as a pensioner on a fixed income, that is prohibitive.
I totally understand ☺️🙏
Your website is very clear about ordering skeins. Obviously the negative person has either never ordered yarn on line as on every site you must state the amount you want or they don't know that hand dyed yarn is pricier. How could you make any money if you were selling 4 skeins for the price of 1. So silly.
I think you are right 🙏☺️
No need to change your website, it is all very clear. The woman who gave the 1 star review is acting out of inexperience and ignorance. Of course it makes sense to show several skeins of yarn in the photo. This sort of thing happens when dealing with the public... I suggest you try not to take it to heart.
Thank you, Melanie ☺️🙏
Oh my goodness did the Shopper not consider the price she was paying with the quantity of yarn she thought she was getting? It is not you Camilla. This just reflects on her.
Thank you for your comment 🙏☺️
Hi. I would Like to knit your sweater in the plussize. Please let me know.
My daughter has her own dog grooming business and I know how devastating a bad review can be when you work so hard to make everything positive. I love your new base and would gladly purchase some but I’m in the US and the shipping is more than the yarn. I know it’s not your fault but just a reality 😢
I live in the USA and have occasionally purchased products from a potter located in the UK. However, this pottery also maintains warehouse space in the United States, so my orders are shipped from their warehouse in Pennsylvania. This means I don't incur international shipping charges, just normal domestic charges. I have no idea what is required to set up and maintain such an arrangement. But if I were a European merchant with enough customers in the USA, I would definitely find out how that arrangement works. Several folks here have mentioned that they would love to order Camilla's yarn, but shipping charges rule that out. I'm in that same boat.
Yes, I know shipping costs are a pain.... I will have to see what I can do about that :D
@@CamijoKnitDesign I do appreciate your giving some thought to my suggestions and replying. My purchases from that pottery in the UK have gone so well because they have a USA shipping site that I thought you'd be interested in looking into it. I have no idea how complicated or costly that arrangement might be.
It`s not fair to give only one star with that reason. It`s clear that one skein is what you order, and if you need more, then change the Numbers
Thank you :)
OMG!!!…you need not change anything on your website. It is clear that you must select multiple if you want more than one skein. As a business owner, you must expect the unexpected and understand that you cannot please everyone. Some people may not have experience in navigating different website presentations.
Thank you.
yes, I accept that people will give me a bad review, I just really needed feedback to know if my shop was clear enough :-)
No. Your website is perfectly clear. Obviously you have to select the quantity you want to purchase. I'm so sorry you had to deal with an idiot and she's bringing down your rating.
I am glad to hear that you think my website is clear. Thanks you.
sorry, just heard you talk about that bad review. no, that is not you. omg - i don't even know what to say about this. Perhaps the person was hoping you would contact them and give them 3 free skeins. i ran a small business for 2 years during the pandemic, and i have to warn you, once you open yourself up to reviews, you will get all kinds of feedback that isn't warranted. some times i got good negative feedback that enabled me to fix things, but often it was people just trying to get free stuff or a refund. i am really sorry that happened to you. No one thinks they are getting 4 skeins of yarn for ~$30.
Thank you Jacqueline!
That bad review you got... I don't think it was written in good faith. I am not a regular customer of online shops at, say, etsy shops or the likes, but I've purchased some things sometimes and I've browser through reviews sometimes, and in my limited experience I've seen such reviews. Including complaints precisely like the one you got, in an instance where each product page in the shop explicitly says: the photo of several skeins is to show the color better, you get the amount you purchase.
In shops that sell stock yarn that is photographed on a cone, might be quite a large one, and is sold by a unit of, say, 100 grams, they explicitly say you don't get the cone on the photo, you get the amount you order. I've seen complaints - oh, the photo showed so much yarn and I got so little. One complaint I saw even stated that they got 50 g, to which the seller said, we send you the 100 g you ordered, not 50 g, and how this works is written in all caps at the top of the product page.
Once I even saw a negative review that said "item not received", the seller had responded with "what are you talking about, we met in person and I delivered the item to you?", to which there was no response from the unhappy customer. I am sure the customer was unhappy about something but clearly not the thing he/she had written.
You can't prevent such things no matter what you do. Perhaps add a note that the photograph includes several skeins just to show the color better but the price is per skein, although I don't think it's needed... but just have it there. Other than this... I am sure it feels and is very bad but occasionally such things will happen no matter what you do.
I agree. There will always be people who will complain. I just wanted to make sure, that my website is clear. And for that your feedback was helpful.
Thank you so much for your comment 🙏
It’s not you at all. Even though I haven’t purchased yarn from you yet, I have spent a lot of time on your website and it’s very clear. I’m sorry you got a bad review for this reason. It was unjustified.
Thank you so very much!
I think it’s unreasonable to have given you a bad review suggesting misrepresentation of the number of skeins. It is very clear that the price is per one skein and the majority of yarn dyers/suppliers show more than one skein in their pictures. If people read that negative review it will reflect more negatively on the person leaving it than it will on your business. It’s just a shame it pulls the overall average rating down. With regards to patreon- I follow a number of knitwear podcasts/vlogs and it would be too difficult to decide which to support financially and too expensive to contribute to all so it would not be something that I would commit to. I understand why you might want to do it though.
Thank you so much for your feedback! I appreciate that! I totally understand that patreon can exclude viewers as well, and that is why it is so hard to decide. For me it is mainly about protecting myself a little better.
not you. only one skein is obvious.
How absurd to expect to receive four skeins of yarn for the price of one! Knitting requires math at times, she better brush up on her math skills. Ridiculous!
Thank you for your support ☺️
About your store photos, there's plenty dumb ppl out there and unfortunately you have to take their low IQ in consideration.
I am hoping she is just inexperienced in buying hand dyed yarn. 🙏☺️
@@CamijoKnitDesign Maybe you should add a disclaimer like in the old 80s collectable toy/action figure tv adverts - "each sold separately" lol
Du skal ikke ændre noget. Skøn hjemmeside og skønt garn.
Tusind tak 🙏☺️
I might be interested in your test-knit for the larger size. Should I contact you on Instagram? Or do you have an email address. ❤ greetings from Germany, Christine❤
