Kind words from our knitters

Reviews from knitters and spinners who recently received an order from Strawberry Patches. Thank you for trusting us with your fibre journey 🍓

I'm happy to have discovered this fiber artist on instagram. My order arrived quickly and it was shipped internationally! The fiber is packaged with care and the NZ Haunui creates springy and lovely yarn. Thank you for creating a quality product. I'm a fan.

Lovely to get a wooly parcel with a nice mix of yarn. Some sparkles, and some arapawa. I always look for non SW for my own knitting so that was a good find.

Beautiful fibre. It looked like what I expected from the pictures ( which is sometimes hard to accomplish) and is well prepared. Thank you.

The Haunui roving is in a league of its own. Drafts like a dream, almost spins itself, and the colours bloom even more once it's plied. I bought one braid to try and immediately came back for three more. Marina clearly knows her fibre — every step from dyeing to packaging is done with real care. Easily the nicest spinning experience I've had this year.

Strawberry Patches is my new obsession! I love all the gorgeous colour combos that Marina comes up with 😍 I have been particularly obsessed with the Haunui fibre that strawberry patches has ! Gorgeous colours, gorgeous to spin !

The roving is stunning. I love working with the Hanui wool, its amazing. Marina the owner is a delight to deal with as well. Very happy :)

I am super excited to get the Zebra DK and Deluxe Sock 4-ply skeins I ordered along with the beautiful and well made “NZ birds on blue” project bag! The yarns are even more colorful in person and oh so soft! The bag is great and will hold various size projects including the Truly Myrtle Selene shawl I’ll be starting soon. The cinch string for the bag isn’t ordinary cord but more like a leather. I think that cord will stay nice and secure as I carry the bag about “in public”. Marina was super helpful as I decided what to order and included a lovely handwritten note in the package. The package arrived from NZ faster than items I’ve ordered in the States!

Parcel arrived in perfect condition, the colourings of the fleece are fabulous, and am looking forward to spinning it and knitting the jersey.
