The price point was excellent and perfect for trip knitting. I could talk with my friend and still knit without loosing my place.
Bought the Blackberry Vanilla for my home office and Ocean Breeze for the kitchen area. 5/5 on these scents and will be buying again to try the others.
I initially used the wrong delivery address when I submitted my order online.
E-mailed my error. It was nicely corrected without a hitch.
Was informed about my order status all of the way to my door.
Love the flax.
