Let customers speak for us
from 586 reviewsHave not started to use this yarn yet as I wanted to open the skeins & let them relax for a day or two before winding into centre pull balls, have now made one ball by winding on a Nostepinne, ( homemade one..a card tube)…this yarn feels wonderful very soft & luxurious…I can already tell it’s going to knit or crochet really well.
I attended Trudi’s workshop and now I’m totally hooked on knitting! Trudi explained everything so clearly and the whole experience was so positive. Everyone at Wool on the Exe is so kind and welcoming and I would encourage anyone to give knitting a go. I am now doing the Knit Stop workshop and learning to knit a bobble hat. I’m so happy to have discovered Wool on the Exe - thank you to everyone involved in this special community.
I had such a helpful session with Jackie yesterday. I’m a new knitter and Jackie was so patient and helped me fix my mistakes. I was on the point of giving up but Jackie has totally turned things around and I’m now feeling proud of my work! Thank you so much Jackie and I would highly recommend this workshop to anyone who needs a bit of a helping hand 😊🧶
I just love these bags by Shirley. She uses such beautiful fabric and they are great to keep all your knitting supplies together.
And smells wonderful
These needles enable fast, smooth knitting without letting the stitches slip off the ends by mistake. A brilliant purchase.
Bought this lovely yarn, in an attempt to make some socks
First time ever.
Beautiful yarn and posted and arrived swiftly as usual. Always a great customer experience.
great local yarn shop with excellent offerings and friendly staff!
I had a lot of help and attention when choosing the wool
I am using this wool to crochet some socks. It produces a lovely marbled effect, not stripes. Being Dk, it is growing quickly and will be warmer and cosier than 4-ply.
Im sure I’ll enjoy the workshop when it happens next month!
Great introduction to wet felting for a complete beginner. Ali explained everything very clearly. Inspirational and practical. And a really pleasurable afternoon.
This is the perfect book for making gifts. I'm currently knitting Ella's shawl for my Mum's birthday, but an already planning on a selection of the other patterns for Christmas presents
I have been to two of their workshops and just wished I went before. Great coffee and Great ladies attended and Great Teachers.
