Solid and Marl Anmeldelser 

As a complete beginner, I brought myself the Pom Pom and Stripe Blanket kit. I was delighted when it arrived, such a beautiful kit and lovely soft wool. Had so much fun making the blanket and love the finished result.

Brilliant kits, easy instructions and beautifully packaged. Good for any abilities :)

New to crochet - found solid and marl and ordered pompom blanket.....fab instructions, lovely colours, blanket more than halfway finished and already I am planning my next project! I was so impressed I bought a granny squares kit as a Christmas present too.

Came back to crochet during lockdown and this was such a great way to begin again. Two throws and two scarfs made and could not be happier with the results. Easy patterns to follow, great pallet of wool colours and the end results look so professional. Hooked!

I am more than happy with my purchases from Solid and Marl. So far I have bought a kit, lots of yarn (see below) and I’ve also downloaded patterns. I started with a small ‘Pixie’ kit to make a throw. However I soon realised that the size wasn’t very functional for me. I decided to make a bigger throw and all through lockdown just continued crocheting and crocheting and buying yarn until I had a sizeable throw! I finished at 14 X 10 squares plus a border, hence the purchase of lots of yarn. I decided to buy a range of colours and now no two granny squares in the throw are the same. The border really finished it off and in my opinion is really worth the extra time and cost. I have taken photographs and shown them to relatives and friends but no one, apart from my husband, has actually seen it! Solid and Marl’s yarn is a top quality product and it is totally transformed by gentle washing. I’m definitely a committed customer now, it’s not cheap but you get what you pay for. Before this project I’d hardly ever crocheted before. I can recommend granny squares for a starter project as long as you like the retro look, the choice of colours brings it bang up to date. Solid and Marl’s complimentary colour produce a beautiful result. Square at a time and building little by little keeps it is always interesting. I’m itching to start another throw.

I bought the bobble throw with pale blue wool. The wool is fantastic quality and lovely to use. I loved it so much I bought the yarn in red to make another throw for our guest room. Wish they had more patterns

I have had 3 kits from solid and marl, completed two and currently on the third very large throw. The wool is such a pleasure to work with, and changes to a beautiful softness after washing at 30 degrees. I’m pretty sure there is going to be enough wool to complete the throw, and it looks incredibly neat thanks to the quality of the wool. Haven’t had occasion to contact the company as the kits all arrived promptly, and have had more than enough wool to complete the project. Very clear detailed instructions, and beautifully packaged in boxes.

Before placing an order for several kits for a workshop I had a great customer service experience with Solid and Marl. All my questions were answered politely and in a timely manner. The kits themselves were beautiful and everyone attending the workshop loved them, I would definitely use this company again

I have ordered 3 kits and some wool from Solid and Marl, they come beautifully packaged with everything you need and clear instructions. I was a complete beginner and managed to follow the guidance.
Overall I'm very impressed with what they provide. However, one kit did not have enough wool, I emailed customer services many times and never got a response. This is frustrating as their product is lovely but their customer service needs improving.

We had a great experience with Solid and Marl, we ordered 25 kits of the silver crochet necklace kits for one of our retreat workshops. We will definitely be ordering again when we see the right project for our workshops. The kits arrived quickly, and carefully packaged. Each individual kit was beautiful, put together like a gift, with everything included, the quality was second to none, we didn’t need any aftercare but the run up to the order was great and everything communicated clearly and in a good time frame.

An amazing wool that has given me so much pleasure to crochet with. The sets come with fabulous books which give very precise instructions which are very easy to understand

The wool is oiled so is easy to handle and the little bit of magic is in washing it. The texture changes from a harsh cotton like material to a soft and fluffy outcome!!!

Great service very lovely owner who is very easy to contact

Cannot say enough about this great product

I love Solid And Marl yarn, it is like nothing I have used before, so lovely to work with. Love Love Love

I’ve bought and made several kits from Solidandmarl and have been delighted with all of them - a great way to help with lockdown! I’ve also made the herringbone patterned scarf three times for various people using the same yarn in different colours.
I’ve had no real issues with delivery either in spite of the current difficult circumstances.
I love their modern take on crocheting and find the yarn very easy to use - just don’t wash it at 40 degrees or it will felt too much! A gentle 30 degree wash gives much better results.
I hope they continue to come up with more fun and contemporary ideas.

saw all the bad reviews so thought I'd give my review, which isn't bad. I was actually really happy with my kit - made a granny square blanket (the grey one with colours 35 squares). I have to say that I bought the kit ages ago and never got round to starting it - I did it as a lockdown project as my friend had a baby and thought it would make an ideal gift. I was lovely, I can't upload a picture here but I would if I could. It was easy to follow and came out beautifully. To start you have to split the balls of yarn and I weighed them, winding off half to another ball then you crochet with two strands to make it the right thickness. The instructions were easy and there are some tutorial videos too. The instructions were very basic (no tips etc) but with the video it was fine and I decided that it would look neater if I did a couple of rows of SC edging, which it did benefit from. I had more than enough yarn - I lost some of my orange and had to buy a full skein of orange (would have been nice if I had been offered the chance to buy a small amount when I enquired bt they just directed me to the full price shop). I probably would have had enough to finish it without. I also have enough left that I think I can just about make little extra one with orange as the primary colour rather than grey.

Disappointing. The quality of wool was good and pattern easy to follow but the kit didn't have enough wool in it to make the blanket, I ended up buying more at an extra cost of £20. No response to my emails.

I wouldnt buy a kit from them again.

I downloaded the pom pom blanket pattern £5.99 what an idiot I am. 18 pages???? I had already worked out 29 rows grey 2 rows of colour followed by 7 rows grey. 2 stripes of each colour. After last colour 29 rows grey. All in trebles.
There were mistakes in their pattern.
I worked from my own calculations used Stylecraft DK 100g 11 balls grey, 1 ball each of 7 colours and measures approx 53 ins by 63 ins size 3mm hook chained 270. 4 pompoms of each colour and I used 3.5 pompom maker their size was too small
18 pages downloaded I still can't believe I did that???????

I have had to buy extra wool for my granny square rug kit as it is severely under stocked in the kit. I sent many emails and messages with no answers.
i purchased more wool foolishly which has still not materialised.
Very poor service, no one ever answers. Happy to take my money and never send a product. I wish I knew how to pursue this from Australia.

I ordered two blanket kits which did not have the correct contents as stated on the package. There was a shortfall of wool. I emailed them 4 times and had no reply. I cannot complete either kit. What a shame all for the sake of a ball of wool. I pursued it through Paypal and got all my money back.

I ordered a kit from Solid and Marl which had a shortfall of wool. The wool in the kit is also not labelled correctly (50g balls labelled as 100g). I first emailed the company about this three weeks ago and have followed up several times. I have heard nothing.

I was reluctant to return the kit after read reviews that refunds never materialised

Update: 7 weeks, 8 emails, 1 message via Etsy, an Instagram message and two Instagram DMs later - still no reply from seller. Absolutely appalling customer service.

Contacted them twice in regards to a late delivery. Took over 2 weeks longer to arrive than it should have done. When package arrived it was stamped only 2 days before so took them 3 weeks to ‘process’ my order. Once it arrived it was already too late so I sent it back using the details on their website and emailed to say I had done so. I have received no reply to any of my emails so now I am out of pocket and no longer have the product. Very disappointed.
