My biggest issue with companies like Wish is that they literally sell garbage. People buy stuff and it arrives broken or breaks very quickly. And with manufacturing and shipping it is a huge carbon footprint. Spend your money on quality rather than quantity. Thank you for making this video. I’d advise anyone wanting cheap yarn to shop for it locally.

Thank you. You did a great service to us all. In the beginning you scooted around your experiences, and I enjoyed meeting you in an internet sort of way but I was running out of time. Then you picked apart each item with your "off the cuff comments" , and you were saying what I was thinking. But your ending was the best. Your comments about the products was on the money. Your opinion was true and accurate backed up by all the time you took to show us all the details. You were in the end fair to both parties. I can now use WISH as a newly educated me. Can't wait to see the finish.

Be very careful on Ali Express. I ordered yarn as my very first order there ever. It was shipped to me then the tracking said it had been canceled for reasons never explained to me. I then spent a month and a half going back and forth with the seller only to have to open a dispute and a bunch of craziness to get my money back. At least with wish....getting a refund is as easy as asking for one. I say...it wasnt what was advertised and within the day I get a full refund. Much easier.

I haven't ordered yarn from wish but I have ordered felting wool. It did come in about 3 weeks time, it was also free just pay shipping, which I find with quite a few items on Wish. The only problem that I have had was with sizing, I had ordered a 2x size jacket which was a bit smaller than I had wanted, so I reordered in a 5x and that was even smaller, but I ended up gifting to my niece and grand daughter. Most of what I do order are things that are either free or I know for sure is cheaper than I can purchase elsewhere. I no longer order any of the beautiful looking clothing LOL. They also have where the more you order the less the price of the item and also you can order along with someone else to lock in a lower price. The longest time I've waited for delivery was about 6 weeks. I have also filled my cart and then emptied it when I seen what shipping would be.

I love the milk cotton yarn. It is wonderful soft, has no smell, the prize is super. When you order wool at wish, the banderols have no tip for the needle size. Sometimes there is a note in the discription on wish. I ordered a lot of yarn at wish, and I was never disapointed. Greetings from Germany

I just hope I will eventually get my order. I am not impressed with them at this point. If and that if IF I ever order again I will make sure it is from the United States.

Hi! I only really started crocheting a few months ago, during lock-down. So I ordered a LOT of yarn online from a local craft shop! All the shops were closed at the time so I never got a chance to actually feel the yarn in my hands. Unfortunately, I wasn't even aware that Yarn can be so terrible. Makes my hands go all red and spotty! The yarn is acrylic and so harsh that it's horrible to work with. Plus, the finished projects literally stand up! Do you have any suggestions as to what I could use this terrible yarn for?

Anja, I have ordered quite a few things from “Wish”, but to be honest with you I’ve never bought any of their yarn though. Everything from Wish runs small!!! All of their clothes, ring sizes for your finger, their shoes and now their yarn! I knew when you stated you were going to purchase it, you were going to be disappointed!!! Sorry to hear that your experience with “Wish” didn’t go well! Now other crochet related things are great for their price and even quality! I’ve ordered crochet hooks, darning needles, scissors, markers, measuring tapes, yarn ball winder, buttons, storage bags for my yarn, tags and so much more and they all turned out great 👍🏽!!! So to be honest with you “Wish” isn’t all that bad! I target “Free” items and pay for shipping only but remember that if you see more of the same item that’s free... compare the shipping price first!!!

Did you not read any descriptions? Wish has them for every listing and they generally say how big the skiens are. I'm not sure what the sizes are overseas, but those are the same as US skiens outside Red Heart which is our cheapy brand. You are right about the Customer Service, Wish has been OUTSTANDING on that end in the year plus I've used them (probably WAY more than I should, several Chinese beauty sellers love me).

I ordered from Wish last summer before I realized how “iffy” it is. I ordered two rolls of ribbon imprinted with the word Handmade to add to crocheted gifts. each roll was less than $2USD and shipping was $1USD each. One roll came in a tiny package one month later and the second roll followed a week later. It is nice ribbon, correct amount and color. exactly what I wanted. I got lucky! especially compared to some of the horror stories I’ve read since. It amazed me that those two palm-sized packages with tiny printed labels made it from China to my house in Arizona. I would wonder if the dye is colorfast on the yarn you ordered🤔did it smell ok?

When ordering yarn like this I would rather order form aliexpress. I have ordered from them for years and it is not as bad as wish. It is very fun to experiment with different yarns to see what I like and don't. On aliexpress you can choose shipping. There is free shipping and is a lot easier to navigate. As time goes by it has become better and better. They are improving which is nice. Also get a scan/take a picture and translate app.That way you get an idea what tags say. I don't order a lot but just to see if there is something to try and I wait for sales. I also look at content, yardage and price to see if it is worth it or not when buying yarn. Example I want to test out wool yarn so I look at that as by base.

I really love Ice Yarn. The prices are excellent even with shipping, which on first glance seems high, but when you divide total cost with total units of yarn it is a very good deal. It’s definitely worth a try. Doubt you’re disappointed.

I buy things from Wish from time to time..ONCE I bought some yarn, or thought I was buying some yarn...turns out it was a SINGLE ball and not a packet..oh well, lesson learned there..most of the time I haven't had any problems getting what I ordered, though my last order was a 'WTF' moment...I ordered a yarn swift cause sometimes I've bought skeins of yarn rather than balls and end up with a mess trying to wind it up so I thought I'd buy a swift cause the things were damn bloody expensive and not available in my local haberdashery stores....what I recieved was something totally different..I THOUGHT I was ordering the swift but what I got was a sort of knitting Nancy thing..mind you, it was pictured with the swift but the add WAS advertising the swift for sale...anyway, my only saving grace that stopped me sending it back was that it was WELL overdue on delivery and because I'd complained out how long it was taking they'd refunded me my money...and least it was something I have a high % of using...

Ophelia I am so glad you were able to get your money back for that mixed up yarn not even looking nothing like what you picked out. I didn't like that the yarn didn't say what hook size or if you could wash & dry it or the yardage.

Yes, Thanks for that review. I'm here in the US and I have received things from China. They do come quick and I only had to make one complaint about a bicycle Helmet I bought. Didn't seem sturdy and I told them. But all the other things I've ordered I have been pleased with them. I too was going to order yarn and had put the order in but didn't have enough money on my card as I thought I did. Since, I hadn't gotten back to doing it. Although I've watched your review I'm not yet disappointed to buy yarn. I will do it and hope it will turn out to be ok. I will watch out to not buy Rainbow yarn, the one you showed. Hope your future purchases with Wish will be pleasant if you should do that again. Thanks again.

if youre in the uk and you desperately want good yarn for cheap, use the woolwarehouse website. found it recently when looking for specific olive colours to make my cousin some tank slippers and the wool there is perfectly fine and much cheaper than ive found anywhere else

Ouch!! That stings. I really feel for you, love. But thank you for making the sacrifice so that we didn't have to. Ah well, we live and learn.....and a lesson learned the hard way tends to stick around. Mind you, I must admit to liking the rainbow cotton and the purple variegated yarns. As for the hairy stuff......I couldn't stand the feeling of it between my fingers!! Anyway, as a parting shot, I found some lovely variegated yarns on ebay. Worth a look, maybe? Happy crochet, sweetheart. xxx

I have only bought my tunisian hooks off of Wish. My mother only bought things that are hard to find here in Belgium. You really need to be very much on your toes buying something from there: Reading and comparing the description and what is available. Because the pictures are not that clear or not always "correct". The shipping cost can indeed be quite a lot. But it is waiting for the right promotion...

I shopped wish today for the first time. I used my pc and found it pretty easy to order but did not like how much shipping was charged. I live in the US and they had were I could order the product from a US dealer for cheaper the price which I did find interesting. I also took out time to shop around to see if other sites like Amazon offered the product cheaper. Some times I found it did, so i was very careful what I ordered. So I found with Wish you really have to shop around. Not certain yet on if I will get what I ordered. I hear alot of people say they order one thing and got another. It will be interesting.

I so dearly love your name. My Grandma's name was Orpha. Classic names that are such a rare delight these days. And thank you for this review, I've been nervous to try Wish yarn, I'm on a budget so every dollar spent has to be done so with caution.
