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!
This yarn was a joy to knit with and it washes up well too - no fading or pilling. I loved that the tonal color shifts add interest to the stockinette portions of the pattern but don't have enough contrast that they distract from the lace.
It's hard to find dyers that can certify that their wool is mulesing-free - I truly appreciate that Global Backyard takes the time to do this research and use ethically sourced yarn as their base. The dye job is beautiful - it's done in a small shop but using professional methods so the color doesn't rub off on your hands or fade in the wash.
This yarn is so soft - it feels like cashmere! I'm using it to knit socks because it has the nylon mixed in, which is a must! I love the subtle color changes in the Cherry Blossom colorway! I also reached out to the dyer, Gina, and she is absolutely wonderful!!
Good quality markers in a nice little tin. The tin fits more markers than the ones that come with it if you have some already you can likely keep them all together. :)
This was on the wishlist for my 'secret Santa' exchange. They look lovely and just like the picture. I'm sure the recipient will make good use of them! Thanks Gina! p.s I went to school with one of your relatives back in the 60's-small world!
Perfect stitch markers for my project. Shipped very fast. I fully recommend!
