IRL Yarn and Wool Shops

Here is a pretty good list of YARN shops about town - My thoughts on Quality - Selection - Service - Price - and Shopping experience.

Wild And Wooly

Oh Anna, where do I start….

This lady not only knows her shit, she will help you with yours and get excited about any new project you need help with.

A wonderful squish-able yarn filled shop  of interesting fibres with equally cool stories of the people that produce them.

I do all of my shopping here, and her window displays are worth the visit every other month!

Wild & Woolly

Loop London

A cute high end yarn shop bursting with delicious yarn!

You can easily get expert guidence on your project, although sometimes hit and miss on service – might be them, might be you… Check it out for yourself.

They offer guest teacher workshops and weekly knit nights too.

Leave feeling inspired and content with an empty wallet.

Loop London

Knit with Attitude

A little yarn and gift shop in Stoke Newington,  specialising in ethical and eco-friendly yarn, books and accessories for both hand knitting and crochet.

Thats what she said…

I always poke my nose in when i’m down that way, and I often pick up some cool knitting themed notion or gift because its displayed so nice!

A yarn story

This one is in Bath, so if you are heading that way, for sure check this shop out.

More than a shop, it’s also a place for yarn-lovers to meet, create and feel at home.

A solid range of yarns for everyday use and then some really fancy limited edition stuff too.

Tribe Yarns

This fancy as fuck yarn shop does not apologise for their hard stance on high end yarn and i’m here for it.

If you are feeling flush with cash and wanna see how the other half live head down to Richmond and see for yourself.

What more can I say except, you’ll wanna have a big budget for this shopping experience.

Fabrications

This shop is more than a yarn shop, they sew and crochert and mend and dye -It’s kinda like MT but more established with a deeper respect for their environmental impact.

Great selection of reliable hardworking and reasonably priced yarns.

Barley is a bloody good egg on a mission and you will love joining in on her journey.
