Quick replies to any questions I had before ordering, and messages r... moreight through the order process keeping me updated. Delivery came sooner than expected. I was slightly concerned on the colour once a confirmation of finished product photo was sent, but was assured it was just the lighting and when they came they were absolutely perfect and exactly how I imagined. I had a huge order and these ladies full filled it brilliantly and if and when I need more, I will definitely be back!

Quote IconThese little wool felted unicorns are exceptionally beautiful and perfectly made, with truly stunning craftsmanship! We could not be happier with them... more. The shop seems to be filled with a team of benevolent and extraordinarily kind people who made the ordering process more pleasant than any we have ever experienced from any shop, large or small. The customer care far exceeded even the most attentive and friendly service of a typical shop. Their attention and kindness was unprecedented throughout our exchange, and on top of all their truly wonderful care, they even included a special gift for our daughter with a sweet note for her birthday! I highly recommend working with this shop, whether for personal use, as our order was, or for your business or classroom.
