Look like this?

I came across a blog entry by Pheelya on Ramblings by a Crafter in which she had received her yarn order from a seller on Etsy and the color she received was not the color she ordered.  This was very interesting to me since I had just received the yarn pictured in the top photo and I had ordered the yarn in the bottom photo, also from a vendor on Etsy.  This made me wonder if it might be the same vendor.  It was!

Being in business for myself, I really try hard to give the benefit of the doubt to other vendors.  The last thing I ever want to do is dis a company who has honestly made a mistake.  However, in this case, since there are at least two instances of this occurring within the same week, I thought it would be a courtesy to you guys to give you a heads up.  I don’t believe this is a mistake though, at least in my case, because the tag on the yarn I received says “Orange Shade”.  There was no packing slip or other identifying paperwork included in the package.  Just three skeins of Yellow yarn.

The vendor is 100purewool and I have begun the process of trying to get my money back.  The saddest part about this whole thing is that I was ordering the yarn for a specific gift for a friend’s wedding gift and after taking 22 days to arrive it was NOT the color I ordered!  Luckily, I am a yarn ho(arder) and was able to find something else that would work.  So, if you are looking for lace weight yarn, buyer beware.
