Wools and Crafts

They have an amazing amount of craft supplies: knitting and crochet yarns, beads, felt, needles, fabric dyes, zips, gadgets… too many to list.
They have quite an intriguing system that lets you see their yarns: there are wheeled stands dotted about that the staff will happily pull out of your way whenever you approach another wall shelf — it feels as if you are visiting royalty and you get all obstacles swept out of your way as you walk! (come on, I’m using my imagination here).
The staff will also be wonderfully helpful in giving you a hand with the yarns and other supplies you want, by putting them near the till: it keeps your hands free (so you can select more stuff!), you don’t drop anything and who knows it might put their mind at ease.
There is one disadvantage that I do not at all like about this shop: they have a no returns policy. Once you bought something, that’s it. No changing your mind later and also no chance of swapping the shade you picked up by mistake with the one you wanted. There’s just nothing doing. I can see their point on not wanting to take wool back that may have been purchased ages ago in a dye lot they won’t be able to sell, but surely it is something you need to do to satisfy your loyal customers who keep coming back? This is my one gripe and unfortunately it is a major one. I feel they need to be quite a bit more diplomatic and selective in how they apply this policy.
A very good shop otherwise. Lots of variety, some yarns are very good value, others very interesting fibres (undyed British breed wool!).

I like this place. I really do.
It’s a genuine little knit and craft shop before all of it came so trendy. Though a little messy and haphazardly organized, this place is literally bursting with yarns, wool, ribbons, and other haberdashery.
I come here way too often. And though they don’t have much luxury yarn, there is a good selection of basic acrylic yarns, a great selection of Rowan brand wool, and lots of natural fibers for felting. A nice place to pick up some supplies if you’re just learning how to knit or if you’re just looking for an ordinary non-​fancy ball of wool.
