Item:*Yarn Club* 4 month subscription!!!
Customer service:I messed up and ordered it twice, but she was wonderful about getting it straightened out for me. Very nice, easy to talk to.
Product review: I was so sad to hear that she was ending her YOTM club, but I will say that all the yarn I got while a member was wonderfully dyed. She offers great selections and will let you order both colorways, matching trim, etc as you desire. Consistent colors with the yarn and great yarn base selections. Pleased as punch!! Hope you start the club back up!!

Customer service:
Marina is generous, sweet, and a great communicator. I had a specific idea of what I wanted for the wrap dress, and she worked up a pattern for exactly what I was hoping for. It was as if she could read my mind!

I appreciated the fact that she was willing to be flexible and work with my fabirc. (I wanted to have an outfit made to match a retired Baby Nay outfit that I had for my older daughter) She kept me updated on my order progress.

Product review:
The quality of the sewing and construction is very high. Marina is a consummate professional, and her garments reflect that care and attention to detail. My girls love their items, and I have to rave to everyone about them!

I especially have to rave about one of the surprises in our order. The summer pjs are super cute, and a big hit with our 3 year old. My husband likes them too, and they are his first choice when he does bedtime duty.

The fabrics that Marina uses are very high quality, botique fabrics. the cotton knits are very thick and soft, and the prints are all really cute. I know that Marina is known for her beautiful yarn, but really, the quality of everything that she makes is wonderful. We will be back for more.
