Knit'n'Purl woolshop is a family run business.  We have been in our new location at South Shields for 3 years and we have gone from strength to strength.  It has been a great experience for us meeting and getting to know our new customers and also introducing our loyal customers from Washington to something new.

We stock WOOLCRAFT, JAROL, STYLECRAFT, JAMES BRETT, KING COLE,  PATONS COTTON, SIRDAR CREPE & BERENGUER ITTY BITTY & LOTS TO LOVE DOLLS.  We also stock cross stitch, haberdashery, knitting needles, crochet hooks, buttons, knitting patterns and crochet patterns, including LEISURE ARTS crochet patterns.

Please see our online shop page for details of new yarns that have been added to the site.

Our shop is situated at 3 market Place, South Shields.  ( NE33-34).  From the shop we cover all areas of the North East, Tyne & Wear, Co Durham, Gateshead, South Tyneside, and have now made our products available to all areas through our website.

We have now started using a new courier which operates a next day tracked service.  We will use this on any orders over 1kilo within England and Wales.  The Royal Mail rates do still apply to Scotland and Northern Island, please choose the current rate when ordering and if I can send it via the courier cheaper I will issue a refund of any overpayment. 

Thanks for viewing our site.
