What our customers are saying
from 591 reviewsThis is my first time to use Global Backyard’s bulky yarn and I love it. The 100% Superwash Merino Wool is so soft and has a beautiful natural sheen. At first I thought the yarn would be slippery, like silk yarns; but to my delight it was not slippery and just so easy to work with. I will definitely continue to support Global Backyard. P.S. I have also used their sock yarn base and that is also a dream to use. You will not be disappointed. I look forward to my future yarn selections and projects with both yarn bases. Thank you Global Backyard!
5 stars review from Ashley
I’m really enjoying journaling my knitting projects this year in this new notebook. It will keep me organized chronologically and it will be helpful when I reach the point of creating a ravelry project entry. I especially like the fact it opens up flat.
I will be pairing this skein with other skeins for a Stephen West shawl this spring. The base is wonderful and I will enjoy knitting with it again..
5 stars review from Kathryn
I haven’t had time to knit with this yet, but I have a project in mind for this summer. This checks all the boxes for a shawl I have my eye on, and I know the base will be perfect because I’ve knit with it before!
Great stitch markers at a great price. Shipped quickly. Thank you.
Very soft yarn and pretty colors.
Bought these for my knitting friend and she loved them. It was carefully packaged and shipped quickly. The counters themselves were so cute, as was their little carrying case.
Super cute and look amazing when taking pictures of my WIPs
These are amazing, I can't wait to use them on my next project.
These are absolutely adorable stitch marks! Red heart tin container is just too cute…Love it! Quality is top notch!
The Extrafine Merino Sock yarn is the softest, finest yarn I have worked with! I absolutely Love It!

This little tin is sooo cute, the markers are lovely and the international shipping was pretty fast, even during the holidays.
Fast ship. Excellent shop. Keep it up!
