Loving Life

I really enjoyed my visit here. Excellent well stocked shop with a huge range of wool…prices and types to suit everyone’s needs…also have large quantities of patterns for knitting and crochet. Fabric also sold by the metre with various haberdashery products to accompany. Knowledgeable staff who were helpful and friendly. No parking outside shop so use public car park which is 10 minutes walk away. Disability access … however the shop is small so wheelchair might struggle. No toilets in shop. Dogs belonging to the owners are in the shop ..very well trained and behaved. I was impressed with the staff member who served me as what I wanted was out of stock but the lady immediately suggested she could order the wool and phone me when it arrived. Best described as a traditional shop with high level of customer service and staffed by people who actually appear to really enjoy their job and who want to serve you and help you. I understand there is a loyalty card scheme for regular customers and a “lay by” service for wool… highly recommend this shop

Stumbled across this amazing shop today so much beautiful yarn, I found some wonderful buttons lovely to see so many but even better that they had some just that bit different than the norm, I hope to return before I travel back home.
