Let customers speak for us
Loved this yarn. Worked up well. Big fan of the recycled cotton.
I cannot wait to use this yarn. Soft and thick. It will make a cozy winter toque.
I was shopping at the tent sale. In my hurry to get my purchases in my bag and make way for others, I left two packages of Premier sock yarn on the counter. I did not notice it until the next day. I called back to the store and was thrilled to know they found them and set them aside. My sister went back a few days later to pick them up. I am thrilled with the care and kindness the staff showed me. Thank you again.
Really love this yarn, easy to work with & the gradient tone is beautiful!
Absolutely love the look of this and the yarn was excellent colours are great. It is a very large fit. I did the medium and it’s way too big. Has anyone else ran into this- the neck line is just so big (loose) looking. I can’t seem to pull it up enough on the shoulders to make it fit right. Is there a way to add stitches and increase it or would that just look bad?
Easy pattern with very helpful video. I am a crochet beginner and am very pleased with my project.
Love this store, have to walk around a few times to see everything! They are always adding new items and moving things around! Great job Ladies!!
Great product. Lovely pattern. Wool is wonderful to work with and looks lovely.
Kids loved creating the wildlife buddies
Always a great experience !
Mary Maxim is a very loved road trip for us! Everyone that works there are so helpful and very pleasant to talk to. It’s always very rewarding, when we are on our way home my friend always starts to knit what she bought!
Lovely yarn. I have used it for beanies, blankets and shawls. It's easy to crochet with.
Lovely yarn. I have used it for beanies, blankets and shawls. It's easy to crochet with.
Some of the darker colours are a bit thinner though.
I haven’t quite finished this puzzle but I can say I am enjoying every single moment of working on it. I am a dissectologist and can easily finish a 1,000 piece jigsaw puzzle in a day. This one has taken me several days to get this far. It is everything I love the most about jigsaw puzzles: beautiful design, gorgeous colours, challenging but not frustrating, and uniquely shaped pieces. I highly recommend it!
I am a long time customer of Mary Maxim, as was my late mother and her sisters. None of us ever had a bad shopping experience with them.
Their customer support is beyond outstanding:
Earlier this year I was trying to track down a sweater pattern Mom knitted for my Dad in the late 1950s as a Christmas present. All I knew was that it was a Mary Maxim sweater kit. Mom knitted it as a Christmas present for Dad, but with 3 small children to run after she ran out of time. She wrapped up the half finished sweater, with the needles still in it, and tucked it under the Christmas tree. From a very poor quality black and white photo I emailed to them, Mary Maxim was quickly able identify the pattern and it was still available for purchase.
