Lovely shop in Oxford. I saw a beautiful knit scarf from the Rowan book they had on hand and they helped me match the yarn using Shetland Spindrift from Jamieson’s. Can’t wait to start knitting! They have a wonderful selection of locally sourced yarns. Exceptional staff. Worth a visit if you're in Oxford!

so cute and cosy. friendly staff member James assisted me in finding the right wool for my intended projects. They’ve got amazing (decently priced) British wool for the quality you’re getting!

A great little store just outside the city centre.
It has everything you need for a knitting project and if it didn't the team in store would find it for you.
Items can be ordered on line and service is quick
Definitely worth a visit.
