Similar problem with them as others here. It is a shame that a company won't back their own products. I ordered a kit through them and no problem until I started crocheting with the Vel-Luxe yarn and didn't even get to row 6 when I noticed the velvet was not there... just string! No customer support at all. Ship it back at your cost when their product is defective! Seriously! I will not be doing business with them any more either. If I could give them zero stars, I would.
