Major flaw, unfortunately.
I bought several of these for my grandchildren and tested one out before gifting them. Good job I did. They're lovely little things and work really well apart from one thing - it's almost impossible to get the wool down into the dolly!
The tube is so roughly cut that wool just sticks to it like velcro. It took me ten minutes, a large darning needle and a pair of tweezers to thread the yarn through.
Because it's so rough, the work comes out fuzzy after catching on the interior.
It's a real shame that the same care and attention afforded the rest of the item wasn't extended to the inside of the dolly. I'm going to try sanding it smooth with a tube of sandpaper - hopefully it will improve it.

Poor Quality-Avoid
What a load of rubbish. Still what did I expect at the price. The finish is very poor even £4 is overpriced. The centre hole is rough drilled so wool won’t run through it, the needle, the same. And the staples pull out of the top so easily as to be a hazard to small children. Poor quality.

Poor quality
Absolutely terrible, the inside is so rough that when the wool passes through it comes out with small chunks of wood attached and when you start knitting it pulls some strange so you never get a neat finish. Very disappointed with the quality, what a waste of money

Not great
This is the standard “Knitting Nancy” but it hasn’t been well finished off,the wood up the central part is really rough and yarn catches on it,also little fingers could get splinters.

Not good. 2 pins were found to be loose and found it time consuming to get wool down the middle due to wood being rough and the body was bit too long. Was very good price but I would have paid double for better quality product.

Needs minor improve3
Great item, wished it came with full instructions, i had tomlook up uow to finish, also find it would work alot smoother if the centre hole was smooth rather than rough as it snags the wool

Flower knitting doll
Flower knitting doll, seems a strange name, to teach what I learned was called “French knitting” as a child at home, even before I started school. (I used to have 4 nails hammered into an old wooden cotton reel, and used a double ended knitting needle or crochet hook to do this, but Health and Safety wouldn’t approve!)
It seemed rather “tacky” and expensive, for what it is, and might be better to let children decorate it themselves, if aimed at younger children, but does the job!

Atractive
A bit awkward for 5 yr old and arthritic handed Grand mothers! Possibly a bit to long as it takes a while before you can see any result.
