It's a fabulous wee shop, with stacks of tempting wools and knits, and all the advice you could wish for. Beginners or experts are welcome as the staff are keen knitters themselves and are more than happy to pass on their wisdom to a budding young wool-artist like myself. Within minutes we'd sussed out an idea for my first garment, which needles and which wool to use, and she happily mentioned that they also hold classes should I wish to check them out. I adore the pre-mades in here too, and will have to come back to grab something special soon. Once I've mastered the art somewhat I'll also be back to pick up a decent pattern book, rather than buy one for my Mum in the hopes that she'll make all my clothes, as was my previous cunning plan... Basically, it's friendly, warm, full of all the things you need, and the staff are excellent. Truly, what more could you want?

Bravely leading a one-man knitting revolution, Baa Ram Ewe also hosts a programme of workshops teaching everything from Beginners' Knitting to traditional skills like felting and spinning.

During my vacation in the Yorkshire Dales, UK this past July 2014, I stopped by the cute Knitting…read moreBasket in Hawes so I could get some yarn and even try knitting my very first pair of socks. The small shop has a nice collection of reasonably priced, pretty yarn and needles for any knitter. I was very impressed with Jenny (the friendly Owner/Manager) who recommended the best kind of yarn to use and gave me a set of instructions for a beginner. She even offered really helpful/patient guidance to do the tricky parts (ex. heel, gusset). Now, I have finished my very first sock thanks to Jenny (see picture). If you're in the area and want to get some knitting supplies and great advice, it's definitely worth a stop.
