A gem of a store. Just a small place on the High Street in Woburn Sands, but it is a knitters…read moreparadise. Sue, who owns the store, is very friendly and knowledgeable. I have taken my knitting in when I've had problems and asked her for advice. There is a wide range of yarns and patters so everyone should find something for them. They also run some knitting groups throughout Milton Keynes. http://www.theknittinghut.co.uk

Walking into the knitting hut is like stepping into a calm and colourful tardis. Packed into this…read morelittle shop is a large range of yarns and wools, each carefully chosen by Sue, the owner. The range includes some beautiful fair trade items, such are recycled sari silk yarn, and purchases are placed into recycled Indian newspaper bags. What singles this shop out though, is not its stock, but the helpfulness of the staff. Whenever I, an absolute beginner to the knitted arts, have needed advice, Sue, or her staff, have been more than happy to help. Dumb questions like 'how do you cast off', are answered without making you feel foolish. The shop also run a series of workshops in knitting and related crafts which take place in various locations around the locality. There is also an annual outing to the Knitting and Stitching Show which is a very popular event. The shop has an online presence too so products can be ordered at a distance. The website is simple and easy to use and orders are fulfilled promptly. If you are not a knitter, a short time in the shop might convince you to give it a go. If you do knit then the knowledge and helpfulness of the staff will make this a place you return to again and again.

Called, left a voicemail and emailed over 3 days to confirm store was open before I made the 1 hour trek from our hotel. No response. Soo frustrating and sad! Why have a business?

I love this place…read more I went on a search for knitting wool and came here on the Yelp recommendation of Joanna. I had to fit my visit into the shop's limited and somewhat odd operating hours, but fit it into my schedule, I did. And I'm sure glad I did as well. The shop is nothing special from the outside, and it's nothing particularly special from the inside. The walls are cubby holes dedicated to the seemingly haphazard storage of knitting wool/yarn. It's par for the course of any knitting/crocheting store, really. But the jewel of this place is its business owner, retired Mrs M.A. Jones. She self-professedly runs a wool shop to keep herself out of trouble. Love. Her. She is potentially the most helpful person I've met in my life. She's eager to hear about your project and to give you ideas on what yarns will be best for it. She doesn't try to upsell you, and she will recommend an acrylic wool if that's what will suit your project the most. I went in one day and bought a skein of wool. I went in the next day to buy some more, but mostly to show off what I'd done with the first skein, so eager I was for her encouragement and praise. She stocks both high-end and economical wools, so if you're cheap like me you won't have to suppress your balking at the dear wools that come with dear prices. 100 grams of a 70/30 acrylic-alpaca for £2.99 suits me just fine.

Lovely selection of local wools, high quality. The shop owner was so nice and helpful. It was a…read morewonderful experience!

Okay, this was hidden on a quaint little street in Oxford away from the city center, which I liked…read more It is expensive, but it is a local yarn store with yarn made in England, so it was worth it. The girl working was very sweet, and they have free tap water if you have a refillable bottle, which was nice. It is not huge, but they have a solid variety of yarn to choose from.

Seeing the front window filled with sewing machines, I worried that the focus was too much on sewing to have much for knitters -- but I was dead wrong. Most of the back room was devoted to yarn, needles and other knitting notions and patterns. None of the expensive high-end brands (Madelinetosh, etc.) and a lot of baby yarn and blends (not my thing) but loads of solid yarn choices, including a whole case filled with Opal and Trekking sock yarn. And I was blown away to see SPINNING FIBER (roving); not many craft stores carry this! Helpful, friendly sales clerks. Expert advice, too: one of the two clerks was offering a customer some rather sophisticated advice about yarn substitutions for a pattern. I would be delighted to have a shop like this near my home.

The fabric alone is a visual feast: - any mom/mum of a young child should swing through here at least once to understand what a fabulous resource is near at hand - any craft-loving tourist with an hour to kill should walk the flat half-mile from town to pick up gorgeous stuff you just won't find at home - any new householder should swing by to find some decorating options that won't break the bank, while adding colo(u)r and flair And, for local quilters and sewers (or those who would-be) the knowledgeable, cheerful staff are so helpful with tips and solutions. They are also just plain accommodating and nice, while the ladies who come for the fortnightly quilters circles are just lovely.
