Slipstitch

On a mission on behalf of my 90 year old mother, who wanted some very specific wool to knit a shawl for her first great-grandchild, using a pattern book that was about 70 years old. The owner and her colleague were really helpful and, not least, very patient whilst I called my mother to check that what was offered was exactly what she wanted. Great service. Thank you.

Spectacular shop with a wonderful selection of local, hand and naturally dyed yarns. Cheerful help with loads of information about the yarn, patterns, knit groups and other craft stores around. Truly a wonderful experience and hope I get to make it back soon!

Great selection of yarn and brands which is what attracted me to this store however very sadly I happened to come just before their restock for winter. Nevertheless I found some amazing yarn from Peru and bought some though was prepared to buy loads more had the sales person been friendlier. Every time I asked her a question, she seemed annoyed and stayed on her laptop the entire time I was in the store. I’m always keen on supporting local small business and as mentioned her brands are great, it’s just her attitude that made me feel unwelcome.
