"Allure" by Patons
Hi everyone, just letting you know about "Allure" yarn. It's really a
nice yarn ... I've made a couple dress scarves with it and they turned out very rich looking. I have found one problem and I'd like to warn you to be very careful when buying it. I have 2 balls, the same colour and dye lot but they are totally different in feel. One is almost silky in comparison to the other. I'm going back to get enough to finish the scharf I'm on but I'll have to go be the feel this time. Pulling out an end from the balls and comparing it that way I think would be the easiest . Hope this keeps anyone from experiencing the frustrations I did. |

We have sold a lot of Allure and have not seen the problem you mentioned. What
you should do is get a sample of each yarn and the ball bands (very important), and take them back to the store where you bought them, and they will return them to the factory. In our experience, Spinrite are very good at handling customer complaints, and they do like to know about quality problems.

Although Roger is 'speaking' as a retailer/provider/seller, as a customer/clent/purchaser, I can attest and agree, the Yarn companies WANT to know when there are problems with their yarn. I had purchased some Caron's One Pounders at one time that were horrible, and Caron not only made it right by me, as a special thankyou, I received free merchandise certificates as well. BTW, Roger, I 'just' placed an order for some roving, some 'thrum' yarn and some linen yarn! Noreen -- STRIP * tease * to email me. |

Hi Mary,
I agree with both Roger and Noreen. I had a bad experience with some Red Heart yarn that I was using for a sweater. I called them and they replaced all the skeins and added a few more. Companies like to hear about our complaints and also our good experiences too. Nora |
