UK YARN SHOP LOVE

There's never been a better time to pop in to one of the hundreds of yarn shops across the country for a friendly welcome and helpful advice. Hear why from just a few of the yarn shop experts in our handy guide.

BAA WOOL STONEHAVEN, ABERDEENSHIRE Owner Janice Anderson describes her business as a yarn lovers pick 'n' mix sweet shop! With customers of all ages. and skill levels, she believes that yarn shops have lots to offer. "The personal touch is so important in crafting. And for fibre lovers, breathing in the colours, textures and woolly delights is essential."

There's always lots of advice available with choosing patterns and techniques. "I recently helped a new customer knit 'in the round' after she returned to knitting after a long break. A few weeks later she came in, proudly showing me her finished hat."

Baa Wool also likes to support Shetland Wool Week each year, selling their exclusive hat kits in the shop and online. Instagram: baawool Facebook: BaaHeid
