Customer Reviews
22.05.24: I am disappointed because the colours Uneek and Monokrom in the set i got are very pale. They look more like winter in Manchester than autumn in Istanbul. The colours on the shop photos are more bright.Monokrom is a muddy greybrown and on the shop photos It seems to be a light pink.
So I don't know If i will finish this because the colours are no fun.
04.06.24: Update: Urth yarns sent me a new kit for free. Thank you very much for this generous solution! The colours in the new kit are more saturated but not as bright as on the pattern. So now i will start again :) I suppose the photos on the pattern distort the colours. See attached screenshot from the pattern.
The pattern is very easy to follow and the yarn quality is very gentle to knit.
Hi Denise,
Thank you very much for taking the time to leave a review and I am very sorry to see the colours were not as expected. I am just going to send you an email now with some further questions and we will follow this up further.
All the best,
Aisling
This kit was a joy to knit, engaging yet pretty quick. The colours are rich and complex and the finished shawl has a lovely drape.
The colours are gorgeous. This was got as a gift for a friend but I really want one now for myself .!!!
Pattern looks very straightforward as well
With this beautiful yarn what a pleasure to create this shawl for my mom. I had a few hiccups in the lace sections but it still came out beautifully. Thank you TIK!
Can’t wait to start this project! The yummy yarn makes it hard to put down but waiting for our cold Canadian winter to settle in. Right now I’m just bragging to my friends. Good thing I purchased when I did as I see the kits are sold out!
