Hi, I'm Sharon.  Helping people discover the joy, confidence and wellbeing that knitting and crochet can bring is the reason I opened For the Love of Wool.

​

After spending 27 years working in the NHS, I followed my dream of opening a welcoming space where people could discover the joy of knitting and crochet.  What began as a lifelong love of yarn has grown into a passion for teaching others and sharing the many benefits that crafting can bring.

​

There's nothing more rewarding than seeing someone arrive feeling nervous and leave with a smile, new skills and the confidence to keep creating.  Whether it's helping someone complete their very first stitches or supporting them as they take on more challenging projects, I love being s part of that journey.

​

For me, knitting and crochet are about so much more than making beautiful things.  They encourage us to slow down, take time for ourselves, improve our wellbeing, reduce stress, build confidence and connect with others.  Seeing the positive impact that creativity has on people's lives is what inspires me everyday.

​

Whether you're a complete beginner or looking to develop your skills, I'd love to welcome you into the shop and help you discover a hobby that can bring relaxation, achievement and happiness for years to come.
