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)

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!
