Let customers speak for us
from 489 reviewsSuch a useful gadget - it's a quick easy way to keep track of which row I'm on. The fact that it has a locking mechanism means that there's no problem about keeping it with whatever project it relates to in the appropriate project bag.
Lovely smooth needles. Great customer service too.
This is such a personal service. Jackie was very helpful & reassuring which meant I could proceed with my crochet project knowing that what I was doing would work out. Jackie is a real enabler & encourager. The lady following me came with a knitting difficulty - Jackie switched seamlessly from helping with my crochet to helping that lady.
Really friendly shop. Great selection of wool from known brands and local brands. Great place
I bought a set of metal circular needles. The Wool on the Exe shop had a great choice of sizes and lengths. Very helpfulstaff member served me.
In our Vacation in Devon and Cornwall we visited that beautiful woolshop in Exeter. I was very delighted about the Great Range of wool and the Nice and friendly assistance by the owner. I shall knit a Cardigan for myself and it will remind me always of this vacation in the U.K., which my husband, me and our dog enjoyed so much.
A great option for protecting knitting from sliding off needles. Definitely need them in larger sizes as well
I am going to make a lovely summer top. Not used yet but looks great
Staff are amazing and so helpful. Their knowledge of patterns , wool is 2nd to none. They give you as much time as needed. Get offered tea a great place
Lovely soft yarn in a lovely green and purple mix. Easy to knit with.
I'm thoroughly enjoying crocheting with this - it's lovely & soft with beautiful stitch definition.
So enjoyed my workshop Introduction to Kumihimo weaving teacher was lovely very informative and helpful. Hope to do the next one
Lovely colourful pin badge. Sheep’s face is adorable.
Lovely shop, friendly and knowledgeable staff. My happy place!
I saw this yarn online and thought the colours were so vibrant. Even better in real life. Haven’t knitted it up yet though.
