"I got my yarn! And, LITERALLY, I gasped when I saw it. It is the most beautiful yarn I have ever seen, or owned. And I have a ginormous stash and been to yarn shops all around the U.S. and England. I have been a van Gogh Starry Night fan since the first time I ever saw it. And this yarn is just magical.
Thank you again."

"I received my lovely order today and just wanted you to know how pleased I am with it. I absolutely love the yarn, and thanks so much for including the pattern and the note suggesting the weight for each color! I can't wait to get started! Your hand-written notes are a special touch, and the mini hank was a nice surprise. Keep doing what you are doing. Your customer service is exceptional and remarkable in this day and age of little to no customer service. Thanks again. You made my day!"

"Oh my word!! I received my fiber yesterday. Everything is awesome! From the lovely lavender aroma from the unopened box, the handwritten note, the beautiful packaging, the most gorgeous sample & the absolutely most beautiful fiber I have ever seen, I LOVE it all! I know without a doubt that I will be ordering a lot more items from you. The sample yarn is so soft & such beautiful colors. I don’t know which fiber I want to spin first. They are all very beautiful!"

"Hi Carla-  Every once in a while, one encounters a skein of yarn that is so stunning that it should just be hung on the wall to be admired.  When we finally bring ourselves to knit with it, there is the feeling that we could knit with this one colorway forever and never tire of it.  This Stained Glass Seashell is that skein of yarn for me.  It is glorious and I just wanted to thank you for the joy it is bringing me."

"I received my sock yarn today inspired by White Water Lilies by Monet. It is just so beautiful! The calm, soft colors are captured nicely with the reflective white of this well known Impressionist painting. I'm enjoying the surprise of each month's match up. Well done."

"All of her life my mom has struggled to find things in her sizeas a 5'10" woman of solid build and size 13 feet. This year for her Christmas/birthday gift, I decided to make her custom socks and fitted them as I made them during her visit. Her favorite color is purple and The Little Princess colorway tickled her immensely. The quality the yarn and due job is phenomenal, and Carla was extremely helpful when we ran out and needed to place a special order for more. As far as I'm concerned, this is my go-to place to find beautiful yarn and fiber to work with, I could not recommend them more❤❤❤❤"

"Thank you thank you thank you for the most glorious box of color goodness!  The extra batt was so very kind of you!  I’m so excited to spend the weekend playing with it all! The fire and ice batt is beautiful! I’m going to try some different felting projects with that one in particular. I cannot say enough great things about you and your products. You're my favorite vendor for these luscious color ways!  Shipping, packing, and communication are always top notch with you!"

"I’ve purchased 18 skeins of sparkly merino, eight of winedark sea (2 shawls) and ten of beautiful universe (1 shawl so far). The yarn is nice to work with. It is spun firmly, so it is resistant to easily splitting by my sometimes erratic crochet hook and probably being part magpie, I love the sparkly strand! I’m in the process of ordering more skeins right now."
- Janice, 10/5/2022

"I just wanted to tell you I am blown away by this month's batt. Ghirlandaio is one of my favorite Renaissance artists. Your colors are spot on and I can't wait to spin."

"First of all my order for Periander Metalmark came today.  It has caused some problems.  I bought it to make something for my BFF.  How am I supposed to give this LUSCIOUS yarn to someone else?????  It is beyond gorgeous!!    It is soon soft for a SWM and nylon.  I  feel like I owe you more money.   I am sure these are worth more than I paid for them.

"Between work and the holidays, I have not had an opportunity to knit with this purchase. However, the purchasing experience was great and the shipment arrived in a very timely manner. The yarn itself? Exquisite. I plan on purchasing more yarn in the future."

"I just ordered the Beowulf color & since I needed 4 skeins, Carla kindly dyed some for me. I wanted it for a specific project - adding it to some mohair I had. The custom dying came out more purple & didn't work, BUT I couldn't bear to send it back, so I matched it up to new mohair & will be knitting a sweater with it - can't wait to see how it turns out. I love combining yarns like this & Carla's colors are so beautiful - I would buy them all, if I could. This base has a lovely soft hand & that little bit of sparkle is just perfection in my mind. Guess I'm biased, because I'm a huge fan - every yarn I've gotten has been beautiful in every way, on a top quality base."

One I received it and made an item with it, I've have discovered I need all the yarn in this color. It is absolutely gorgeous and is perfect for any item. I made a hat and socks out of my first skein and can't wait to knit more items."

"I am 85 years old and have been knitting since age 15, so have used all types of yarn. Even have spun some years ago of wool from our ship we raised. But have fallen love with beautiful colors a softness of the spinning and felt rovings. I have bought 4-5 of-them for gifts for felting balls. Has brought a new relaxing craft to enjoy now! My daughter just asked me to order some more for her."

"I just received my 1st month of the Sock Yarn Club. I couldn't be more pleased and happy with it. The colorway is absolutely beautiful. I've had a couple other "of the month" clubs but nothing compares to how lovely this is. The feel, the color, the extra 'Sample Skein' included in my package and of course the picture of the painting it was created after. This month was "The Storm on the Sea of Galilee". I could match my skein right up to the picture. SO wonderful. Thank you Purple Lamb"

"Stunningly Gorgeous! Tells a Romantic Tale of Gothic Elegance through color an texture. The feel of this is just Divine . . . I fear Felting or spinning will take away from the ‘’Floof’. The fibers are simply Luscious, the finest of all Middle-Earth. I envision a fantastic cowl to show off the deep blues and shimmering gold . . . If there is a way to wear this Batt “as is” please tell me!"

"This “Bouquet” & its mixture of deep jewel tones from the Bamboo & Sparkle blending with those of a sunrise giving way to a perfect blue sky, the Silk creating Cirrus clouds with the occasional Cumulus cloud is Absolutely Brilliant. PurpleLamb Goodies are a Treat for ALL the senses 🥰 The Batt is truly a work of art itself! The spinning techniques for this are nearly endless and will no doubt create a fun yarn for a true statement piece."
