My wife and I own several sweaters and vests knitted of Wensleydale wool by several of the local knitting ladies. They are remarkable garments made from the finest wool I have encountered, including cashmere. Plus the folks who run this place are lovely people. (Saint Charles, IL. USA)

Crocheting another shawl. Love the 4ply I bought from the @WensleydaleYarn stall at Spring Into Wool. Lustrous & springy & makes lovely lace. And very reasonably priced too!

Such a lovely shop with a wide selection of Wensleydale wool! The shopkeepers were so helpful and even the customers were lovely and welcoming. I felt right at home, 3000 miles away from my usual yarn shop. I can't wait to spin the gorgeous roving I bought!

"Wonderful World of Wool!"
I was so amazed at all this little shop carried! Beautiful wool, sheep's roving, and wool in just about any stage you wanted it.... I highly recommend this place to people who spin, knit, crochet, or just enjoy raw textiles and their making.

“A fantastic place to buy locally produced high quality knitwear”
The wool used is local Wensleydale and the designs of the knitwear are varied...and colourful... The prices here for all goods are very reasonable.

Great little shop with some beautiful wool products. I bought the most adorable yellow wool throw here and a fabulous pair of socks. I really want to go back when I have more money for things both pretty and useful.

Great knitted products. My wife and I have been buying knitted goods from the shop when it was run from the owner's house a couple of miles away for some years. The business has new management and has new modern retail premises just off the Market Place in Leyburn - between Serendipity and the Posthorn cafe along the alley way to the car park. The wool and the knitters are the same so a great place to come for all your knitting needs and finished garments. My wife has also bought by mail order when having a garment specially made.

Just wanted to thank you for your wonderful yarn. I knitted a “Beryl jumper” for myself, it is such amazing quality and washes so well. Now I have knitted my husband a sleeveless jumper using your DK yarn. I have knitted him two of these before using different yarns and yours is by far the best. I will be buying more!

I am so happy to have found the Wensleydale Longwool Sheep Shop in Leyburn while traveling through the Yorkshire Dales. The shop is beautiful, full of hand knit samples of patterns, weights, sizes and colors. A knitters dream come true. The wool is fabulous to touch and the colors are gorgeous. Of course I bought Aran weight which won’t help my backpacking needs for the next 7 weeks and a touch of 4 ply for my travel knitting, 4 beautiful shell buttons that match every color in the store and a seed stitch (my favorite stitch to knit) waistcoat pattern. I would go back in heartbeat 💕

Just a quick note to let you know that my yarn order arrived today. It is so gorgeous! Thank you again for your time in putting this order together for me and for going to extra lengths to correct the error I made.

Visited this lovely shop and bought a beautiful sky blue jumper hand knitted by Beryl, I am delighted with it and am sure that I will be buying more in the future. I was almost tempted to buy some of the gorgeous wool and to take up knitting again but I know it wouldn't be anywhere near as good as Beryl's jumper! Thank you.

Beautiful Yarn and Knitwear Shop.
This pretty shop is worth visiting whether you are a knitter or not. The rare breed lustrous Wensleydale wool is available both as yarn and as finished handknit garments; and there are lanolin products and sheep themed souvenirs for those who visit out of cultural interest.

Beautiful shop for wool and woolly items.
This is a beautiful shop tucked away in the small market town of Leyburn in the Yorkshire Dales. I called with my husband in May and he spotted a sweater knitted in the Wensleydale Aran, the pattern is available from age 3 to adult sizes. I choose a marl grey/fennel colourway. It knits up beautifully and has a lovely sheen. The lady in the shop was so helpful and I will definitely return. Even if you are not a knitter it's definitely worth a visit. The yarns are well priced and of exceptional quality.

Have used the website and the shop. Very, very helpful and knowledgeable. The wool is of a fantastic quality and the lustre of it amazing. It washes well, I washed it by hand, don't know about machine. Love the colours as well. In the past I have sometimes been reluctant to pay this much for wool. No more. I am sure I will be wearing this woolly for years, even though it is a favourite and as such will be worn a lot. Have been asked where I bought it!

I love the cardigan/jacket in teal Aran that I've just received from you. It's a radiant colour (though not bright), perfectly made, a good fit. It's just beautiful! I'm certainly going to keep Wensleydale Longwool in my mind, for the future.

I'm so delighted with the speedy and prompt service I received from Kath today... in spite of the chaos and awfulness that the flooding in Leyburn and surrounding areas has caused this week, my parcel full of gorgeousness arrived this morning! I am beyond grateful and will most certainly be ordering again in the near future! Thanks again, I will spread the word...

Popped into Wensleydale Longwool Sheep Shop while in Leyburn this morning. I could have spent hours in that shop. It's not a big space but it is jam packed of gorgeous yarns, fantastic patterns, and amazing accessories and other items. They even have their own yarn crafted from beautiful Wensleydale sheep. I just couldn't see a need for aran wool today so I had to look past it (for now, I'll definitely be buying some online soon) and instead picked up this cone of gorgeous teal 💯% Merino at the bargain price of 500g for £20. Definitely got some projects in mind for this!!!

Nona (kit) has arrived and the yarn is like nothing I've used before! It is delicious! I'm sceptical about ordering yarn I've never seen/felt/smelled! I'm so glad I ordered this!

Have loved this special quality wool since the early 90s. Now in it's own lovely small shop in Leyburn which saves going off track to the farm....
Lots of gorgeous colours and a selection of patterns. A serious knitters paradise.

Wonderful service for Online Order to Italy

Ordered Wensleydale Longwool DK for a Gansey pattern designed by Martin Storey. Fabulous lady Kath organised everything so meticulously in spite of her busy schedule of shop plus many trade show commitments. Wool, 1kg of fabulous 'Fennel' colour plus other Wensleydale products such as soap, wool wash, lanolin cream etc arrived beautifully and efficiently packaged for the courier delivery. Kath deserves top star rating and a massive thank you. I recommend looking at her wool for any future knitting projects and supporting this wonderful product which also supports the rare breed sheep of Yorkshire. Buy British Wool and support these lovely sheep, from The Northern Isles south together with their guardians for the future.

I want to thank you so very much for the beautifully packaged shipment I received yesterday! Everything is safe and sound (my new mug!) and I cannot believe how quickly it arrived.
And the yarn!!! It is absolutely gorgeous! I love the vibrancy of the colors and it smells sooooooo good. I just can’t knit quickly enough.
Thank you so much! I just cannot adequately express the joy you have given me.

My new jumper arrived today and I am absolutely delighted with it. I have been looking at it on your website for a while as I love the design and colour, but I was worried it would be too big. I decided to be brave and give it a go.
I am just thrilled. It is a perfect relaxed fit, and I love the quality of the wool, with it’s beautiful lanolin. So a very big thank you. I will be inseparable from it all winter. 😊💨🌨❄️☃️

Just to let you know how pleased I am with the sweater which has just arrived. The fit, colour and feel of the wool are perfect. Please thank Beryl for her hard work.
In the 1970s while in Japan we met a distinguished Japanese potter who had been designated a National Treasure. When we told him where we came from he became very animated and said that he owed his life to a woolen sweater from Yorkshire which had prevented him from freezing to death during the war.
Having had one of your sweaters for many years now (still going strong) I know exactly what he meant.

Can finally sit down today and send this message to say THANK YOU: the jumper arrived and it is gorgeous, am wearing it now! Such a lovely colour and a great fit, and so soft and cosy. It's so much smarter than most of my jumpers too!! Can't wait for the other one now!! ... 😊

Jumper has arrived - oh my goodness it is gorgeous! I am wearing it now - fabulous colour, I think the yoke has come out brilliantly, I love the fennel, and the jumper drapes so beautifully... It is the more comfy jumper to wear with trousers I was wanting. But the top half is still very smart looking. I couldn't be more delighted, thank you!! Hmm, cardigan or another jumper next, tough choice 🤣
