Customer Comments

Dear Kathleen,
I received my Blades Cardigan today! It is absolutely gorgeous and fits perfectly! Thank you for taking care of all the particulars in getting this order taken care of. I also want to thank you for including the name of the person who knitted the sweater.
Will you please tell J. Fowler for me that she did a beautiful job making this sweater. It is perfect and I already love it!
Mrs M. Texas, USA, January 2008


Dear Kathleen,
Hello, we were out of town when the sweater arrived, but we're back now and it's perfect!! My husband loves it and loves the natural wool.
Mrs. H, Lexington, USA, January 2008


Dear Kathleen,
The Satron sweater arrived safe and sound this evening. What a fine piece of the knitter's art it is! I particularly like how the sleeves are set into the body, something which must be difficult to design with so complex a pattern. I'm taking it to Mongolia next month to give it the -40C test. Please give my thanks and appreciation to Mrs Stewart for such lovely work.
Best Regards,

Dear Kathleen,
Thank you for the beautiful sweater that I purchased from Swaledale Woollens. It is a light navy, round neck, set in sleeves with a moss-stitch and double cable panel at each side and is very warm and cosy.
Thank you again,
Mrs. B, Nottingham, January 2008


Dear Kathleen,
I felt I must write to say thank you so much for dealing with my order so efficiently. It was so nice to have a person answering the phone! The pullover is excellent and will certainly keep me warm. It adds to my collection from Swaledale Woollens!
Mrs. F, Beaminster, December 2007


Dear Kathleen,
Just to say thank you for sending the Swaledale Waistcoat so quickly - I am pleased with it. Do thank Mrs Bell - it has already come into its own in this very cold winter.
Mrs. I, Lanarkshire, December 2007


Dear Kathleen,
I really enjoy wearing your sweaters. The wool is so springy and soft and keeps me warm without feeling heavy or bulky.
Thank you so much!
Mr. C, New England, USA, December 2007


Dear Swaledale Woollens,
One of your Bridgend Cardigans has been carried from Yorkshire to Sufflok and is much appreciated in this cold weather! It's a fine garment, keep knitting!
Mrs. M, Suffolk, December 2007


Dear Swaledale Woollens,
I just thought I must write to you! We were on holiday last year and visited your shop where my husband purchased for me a deep pink cardigan made, I think, by a Mrs Robinson. I cannot tell you how often I have been complimented on this cardigan! It is the most comfortable and cosy cardigan I have ever possessed!
Yours faithfully,
Mrs W., 24th August 2007


Dear Kathleen,
The cardigan with extra wool and buttons has arrived safe and sound. A lovely bit of work it is, with a good fit to boot. The craftsmanship is a credit to Margaret Smith - not to mention her getting a so remarkably good fit in custom goods from all the way across the Atlantic! The white/grey Welsh wool has a fine feel, and the randomly distributed wisps of darker grey scattered throughout make the garment most attractive.
Thanks again to you and Mrs Smith. Dealing with Swaledale Woollens has been a pleasure that I hope to repeat and let others know about.
James from Massachusetts, USA, 1st August 2007


Dear Swaledale Woollens,
The gloves have arrived and fit very well. Thank you for your speedy service.
