  • I've done two projects from wool and the gang in different crafts and I loved them both. This is such a good way to undertake a project without the labor of finding yarn, pattern, supplies, etc and putting all the pieces together. It feels pricey at first but is actually a really good deal for what you get. The resulting products are cute, the instructions are great, and you get to have all the fun without so many logistics. Highly highly recommend

  • I love how approachable and fresh Wool and the Gang has made knitting. The instructions are easy to follow, and if anything ever was even slightly challenging I found their video content to be super helpful. Admittedly I am still working on the same sweater that I started knitting in 2021.... but that's not on them :D Pics to follow! P.S. I think this is a very nice gift to both beginners and hard-core knitters!

  • I know absolutely nothing about knitting, but I got these for friends. They gave me positive feedback about the quality of the yarn and have already knitted up some fun projects with it :)

  • I reallllly like the yarns that they have available. I'm a very beginner knitter - only know how to do a basic stitch for a scarf, but there are a lot of beautiful yarns!

  • Sold these yarns in my shop years ago and they were really lovely - great texture, colors, sizes. So nice to see updated yarn branding!

  • I learned how to knit during the pandemic using a kit from Wool & the Gang! I still needed some additional help besides the instructions to get started, but they offer videos with good support as well. It's so satisfying to finish a project and have something I can really use that I know I made myself.

  • I really do love Wool and the Gang but have to give 4 starts for the quality of the pattern I used. I amde a chenky oversized cardigan and as an experienced knitter, the pattern had some gaps in explanations that would be helpful to address. Otherwise the quality of the yarn and color selection are fantastic. I think this brand could really encourage new knitters to start. The patterns are modern and fun and the yarn and needle selection are great. I am currently knitting with their alpaca yarn.

  • They make difficult tasks really easy for me and actually help me make my own scarf. Not only that, their wools are high quality and stylish in colors. They help me explore knitting and expand further.

  • As a life-long knitter I was so excited to see the older patterns my grandmother/mother use updated for the modern knitter! The yarns are high quality and the instructions for beginners are very clear.

    This is really marketed towards beginner knitters, anybody who has had much more practice realizes that buying the yarn and the pattern from them in a kit is much more expensive than buying the yarn elsewhere and the pattern from W+G.

  • Their yarns are high quality and I really appreciate the kits that they offer are modern and geared towards a younger audience (rather than grandma cardigans, etc.). Shipping was fast and everything was packaged really nicely.

    I think for the price point, wool and the gang is only good for the first few times you try knitting or crocheting. Once you get decent at those skills, it's way cheaper to just find a pattern online and go buy the yarn yourself at Joann's. It might be worth WatG to sell just the patterns. I would happily pay $5-$10 to get a pdf of some their projects.

  • LOVE WATG! I've purchased a few kits and materials before. High quality yarn always, kits are descriptive and informative so you don't feel lost on a knitting project, and customer service is fab! It's certainly marketed towards new knitters. A lot of the kits come with knitting needles and after some time, you don't need to buy another size of the same needles and so patterns and yarn are typically more affordable than a kit. The brand also offers lots of YouTube tutorials on kits, knitting styles/patterns, and more! There's tons of different kits from sweaters, to tops, to shoes, to scarves, to totes and more! I think these can make great gifts also :)

  • WATG is the reason I kept with knitting when I started. Their patterns and supplementary Youtube tutorials are so easy to follow, and they have great customer service if you have questions on a pattern. I've made multiple kits from WATG and they've all turned out beautifully. Their yarns definitely aren't cheap but I do think they're quite beautiful, and I love the variety of colors / materials they offer.

    Ability to purchase more patterns without kits.

  • great quality yarns, fun patterns and easy to follow instructions and youtube videos. On the priceir side tho.

  • Pricey, but really cute patterns and the yarns and needles they send with the kits are great quality. Has frequent sales :) Quick shipping!

  • Got given a dog sweater kit as a gift and it was packaged amazingly and really high quality kit.

    It would be great to have more comprehensive instructions for beginners

  • Who doesn't want to create their own piece of Garment with their own features and designs. You get to create a Garment or Textile that stands out for you.

    Easy to use and you can get as creative as you want. Impressive.

  • I’ve only had the chance to use their chunkier yarns, but they knit up beautifully and are lovely to work with! Shipping is reasonably quick, but if you’re trying to finish a project within a couple days from ordering don’t count on it. The color selection is great, and I love that they have some free patterns on their website! They seem to take a lot of care in making crafting sustainable and accessible.

    Would love a way to compare shades online to see how colors look together or to match shades from different weights of yarn

  • LOVE the Wool and the Gang experience. They make it so easy for new and advanced knitters, alike, to start their next project. The kits and directions are easy to use. Wool and the Gang also features a lot of user-generated content, which is inspiring to see when you're knitting a pattern. They also have seasonal sales and free patterns.
