Kath Webber, our commissioning editor, writes:
“I’m a big fan of independent yarn shops – whether it’s the local yarn store in town where you can pop in for a browse and some help with your latest project, or an online shop with gorgeously curated wools and accessories, the care and personal service you get is second-to-none. Our favourite independent yarn shops – some local, some online - are all packed with a great choice of yarns, hooks and extras perfect for your next project. Yarn shops are also great places to find fellow crocheters, whether it’s a ‘Crochet and Chatter’ social group or workshops from local designers, all brought to you by staff with a real passion for yarn and love for our craft. Check out these stores for some great yarn and service!â€
