I buy this yarn for a senior living facility whose residents knit blankets for preemie babies born to underserved families.

I purchased Plymouth yarn 4 years ago for a baby blanket I was making for my niece's fist baby. Well, work and life got in the way of completing the project. l Move ahead 4 years and another boy will arrive in April! I am retired now, and decided to complete the blanket for the new arrival. I was not sure I would have enough yarn to finish. So I went online looking for yarn stores that carried Plymouth yarns. The first one I came to did not have the same yarn, however your store did. I couldn't believe it ; I was certain I would not find the same yarn after all this time. I will definitely return to Michigan Fine Yarns in the future!
Joan M.
I love the yarn and have been very happy with the customer service. I will order again from you. Thank you.

I had bought some of this yarn local but they no longer carried it and I needed more to crochet an afghan for my grandson - so was very happy to find it here and at a great price - shipping was fast - I would have included a pic but I’ve not gotten very far on it.
Laura P.
Great first time experience. Yarn arrived super fast !
Kate B.
I really like this yarn. I didn't know how it was going to "stripe" and I'm very pleased with the effect.
Bonita R.
I crocheted a shell pattern baby blanket. This yarn was perfect soft pink/white color strawberry swirl. The yarn was soft and it is washable. I really liked the yarn.
Adrienne H.
Loved the color and how my project turned out with the yarn design. Was surprised the yarn was tied off with a knot part way through the skein with an abrupt change of color. Is this typical?
BARBARA S.
thankyou for your fast resp
JACKIE
Very soft, beautiful colors. Was a little thinner than regular worsted. It still worked for what I wanted it for.
Jodi
Loved the quick mailing, and that they made sure same dye lot!!!
Chelsie G.
Yarn arrived on time and the quality was very nice
Tommye L.
Used your pattern but added the bows.
Marcia B.
Very happy with my purchase and the experience. I knit children’s sweaters for a local country store. Plymouth Encore is a favorite! The pattern is a vintage one I used about 50 years for my son. I sewed a zipper instead of the buttons. I lost the pattern but finally found a reprint of it.
Marcia S.
Love the yarn
Velma D.
I ordered worsted weight and received chunky. No time to send it back. Needed right away.
Susan D.
I LOVE Michigan Fine Yarns! There are so many incredible yarns and colors that I have to "behave" myself when I visit and not add tremendous amounts to my yarn stash. Thank you Swaran (sp?) for your wonderful store!
PS I love your laugh too!

When I came up short by 1 skein of yarn for my project, my local store was out of what I needed. I was lucky to find exactly what I needed from your website. Thank you so much.
Diane J.
Yarn worked up beautifully into a nice baby blanket.
Marsha M.
Nice to be able to order just what needed for baby blanket and fast shipping!
Sue V.
Great, I was so happy to be able to be able to find the yarn that matched a skein I had bought awhile ago at different store so I could complete this project. Thanks
Lynn T.
Love this yarn and the cost per skein is less than my local yarn shop. I will definitely order more. Thank you.
Barbara W.
When I knit baby afghans , I prefer to use Plymouth Encore yarn and you had a good selection to choose from. The ordering process and the communication about when my order was picked and shipped was great. The yarn arrived in good condition and was what I expected. The only downside was 6 of the skeins were of one dyelot and 7th skein was a different number. I had always been told to be sure the dyelot numbers were all the same as there can be a slight variation between numbers. As I am making an afghan, I hope that there is not a noticeable difference. Other than that, I was please with my order.
Gloria D.
I so glad I can now but Plymouth encore on your site thank you
Geraldine G.
As always, the yarn is beautiful and my visit to the store was friendly and helpful. I enjoyed visiting with everyone.
Kathleen S.
The color of the yarn was exactly as pictured. Easy yarn to work with. It was shipped within 24 hours of placing the order. This was the first time I used them and I placed a second order within the month. I highly recommend them.
Joanne S.
Used this yarn for mittens for Detroit charity as enough wool for added warmth but easy care. Nice yarn
Ellen R.
This review is for Plymouth Encore Worsted yarn of every type which I really enjoy using in my knitting projects. There are so many beautiful colors and because it’s not 100% wool it is machine washable and can be put in a dryer.
Mary P.
Great service -will definitely be back’
Lucinda H.
Lovely mix of colors
Shelly S.
Love this store. Beautiful yarn and wonderful customer service. Would highly recommend this store.
ann w.

Super pretty blends of colors, can’t wait to start my next project

Loved the blend of colors in the pattern.

Needed extra yard to add on a blanket.

I was so pleased that you had the yarn I was looking for. Thank you for your fast service. I will continue to shop with you.
Mariana S.
Best place to buy yarns

Good service, timely delivery
Kate M.
I did not use the Encore Colorspun "Ocean Drift" because I didn't like how it was predominantly gray and this was for a baby (boy) blanket. Fortunately I had ordered the Periwinkle Heather from you also and ended up purchasing the Encore Colorspun "Rainbow," after much deliberation, at a yarn shop in NYC. I'm very happy with the results. Am halfway through with the blanket and did take a photo of it shortly after I began the blanket.
Victoria M.
I actually ordered this yarn for my Mom. She couldn’t find it here and was looking to make a baby blanket. The price was right, it shipped quickly and she was very happy with it. Thank you
Joy M.
The invoice says Blueberry Number 7747. The yarn says Drifting 7747, so not sure what I ordered and why the numbers are the same for two different products.
Dylan C.
Wonderful customer service! Yarn is perfect for the baby blanket in making.
Mary T.
Although I haven’t used Plymouth Encore in many years, I didn’t hesitate when I saw this delightful ombré colorway. The color transition is very gradual (exactly what I wanted) and the yarn itself knits up evenly, doesn’t split and is lovely to handle.
Emma P.
I was very happy to find your web site.Needed yarn to finish an Afghan
The yarn arrived fast and perfect
Many thanks!
Chris B.
I love Encore yarn. I knit hats for those who are in need of warm winter clothing and absolutely loved working with this colorway. The richness of the color made knitting this very basic hat totally enjoyable.
Mary Ann F.
The colors are beautiful. I am knitting a hat and am very happy with the different shades as the hat takes shape.
Janet s.
Fast delivery and exactly as it appears on website.
Thank you
Jes L.
Nice worsted weight yarn. Soft but not slippery. Minor variegation throughout, with some sections having a yellow/greenish accent and others not, and the blue varying slightly. Overall gives a nice tone but isn’t self-striping or wildly noticeable.
Jacqueline S.
Fast shipment - exactly what I wanted with a wide choice of colors. Will definitely do business with them again!
Linda M.
Nice yarn to work with.
Kenny S.
Just what I needed. Great turnaround time!
Kenny S.
Beautiful!
Linda M.
I loved all the yarn I ordered, but I loved the quick service even more
Jennifer W.
This yarn was super thin imo and not very soft at all. The color variation is very pretty though. And my hats did turn out great.
Sandy d.
Without asking, they sent me the same dye lot. Thank you.
Violet R.
Very soft and easy to work with. Thank you
Cathy S.
All of the yarns I ordered are beautiful and they arrived promptly so I could get back to knitting.
This store was excellent to deal with and I will definitely order from them again.
Jennifer G.
The yarn felt good in my hands. It worked well and it turned into a beautiful scarf. Sadly I forgot to take a photo before I packaged it up to send to a friend.
Rosemarie P.
I used this tweed for the body on this hedgehog. I brushed it with a slicker brush. The yarn is super soft and I should have gotten more!
