    I noticed that they only come in off white (is that aran?) and black. One come also in stark white. The drawback I suppose.

    That might be a point.

    The pure whites are made of acrylic!

    Any ideas about the quality?

    Wow, I'm curious to know as well, incredible price if they're even moderately good.

    "Custom orders:

    I note the above from their website... I think it is definitely worth a punt...

    Aran wool is dyeable. There is no reason why they could not be any colour you want.

    Regards
