Your lovely reviews

What Eleanor Shadow's customers have to say
about her hand dyed yarns, fibres and knitting accessories

Can't believe how much these felted wool balls have cut down on drying time. So much quieter and better than plastic balls. The wool smells like squishing and sniffing at a yarn show. Or you can add a few drops of your favourite essential oil. Definitely sold on these.

I love, love, loved this fibre! It was such a joy to spin and made such lovely yarn!! The oatmeal colour is my favourite. Thank you!
Susan T.Canada
The rainbow minis are gorgeous! I can't wait to use them!
Gwen K.United States
Spinning on a drop spindle with this and it’s so nice to work with it’s making lovely yarn which I can’t wait to weave with! I liked that it came with name of the sheep, very nice touch!
Harry A.United Kingdom
I have used [the wool dryer balls] and they truly cut down on my drying time. Also they are made very well. Appreciated the instructions that were sent for use & care. Highly recommend this product & shop.

Sally T.United Kingdom
I love [the hand dyed yarn]! The colours are gorgeous, and the packaging was so personalized and generous. Still not sure what I'm going to knit with it yet, as if love to show off the colour scheme. Thank you so much!
Emma P.Canada
Eleanor is a lovely seller. She kept me informed with my order and sent some little extras in my parcel. Her spinning fibre is fantastic. The polwarth was so soft and a pleasure to spin. So happy with the colourway of the finished yarn. I had purchased it as I had run out of my own pastel handspun and was desperate to finish knitting my shawl. It is now finished and I am very happy. Would definitely order again!
