Let customers speak for us
from 608 reviewsIt easily accommodates 3 balls of plump sock yarn with plenty of space for extra things. I particularly like the zipped side pocket. This bag exemplifies Shirley's attention to detail & skill with matching colours. The russet trims & strap, the blue zips & the little beige ribbon zip pull all echo colours within the Floral Lily fabric of my bag. It's just a joy to see it on my crochet table.
Very easy to use & not at all lumpy but plumps up the article beautifully.
Couldn’t leave the shop without the perfect mug for essential tea or coffee before during and after knitting time😊
Really lovely yarn, and so many colours to chose from. Ella was very helpful as always in helping me choose the right two colour combination! I’ve just started and am delighted with the look and feel of the project so far.
As always really helpful staff and great selection of yarn.
I didn't come in to buy this but so pleased I did. Will make a lovely present too so I will be back to buy more.
Exactly what was needed,, including the service. Thank you!
These markers are ideal for marking where you were/need to be and are like cute little safety pins
I loved the wool and the colour. However when I knitted it up I was surprised as it felt rather stiff, less pliable and soft.
I still love the wool, but not sure what to do with it now. It will just have to go into my wool stash until I have a eureka moment.
This yarn is gorgeous to knit with and has good stitch definition too. Have knitted a hat as a gift for my sister.
First time I will be knitting for years, grandchild on the way!
Helpful advice to buy an easy pattern, print some off and buy wool to get started.
A lovely afternoon at Wool on the Exe learning Fair Isle.
Deb was an excellent tutor, helpful and patient. Felt I made good progress having never done colourwork before.
The shop was also great and the staff welcoming. I also purchased some lovely wool.
Highly recommend.
Gorgeous wool, so soft, lovely to knit with and comes from just up the road near Tiverton. What’s more to like!
great yarn, wonderfully helpful staff
Thanks
This workshop was just what I needed. I’ve been daunted to start Fairisle knitting for a long time but this has enabled me to make a start and will hopefully set me up for more projects in the future. Everything was well explained and demonstrated and Debbie was a patient teacher. Highly recommended.
