Battle Wool Shop

This is one of the best wool shops I have ever visited. The shop is not exeptionally large, but every inch of space is utilised.
The proprietress is usually on hand to help with patterns if you are having a problem — but if she is not there, the other ladies on the till are all experienced knitters, crocheters and stitchers.
If something is not there it can be ordered. There is a comprehensive selection of the latest craft books. The yarns stocked are contemporary (Noro, Debbie Bliss) aswell as the traditional baby wools and old favourites such as Sirdar.
There is also everything to do with embroidery, cross-​stitch, beadwork, and a large haberdashery. The shop is constantly busy but there is a chair available near the till if you have to wait awhile.
There are always newly made up garments, from the latest pattern books, displayed in the window. This is really helpfull when looking at some of the exciting new yarns.
The shop is closed on Wednesdays and Sundays. Parking is in Mount St Pay & Display which is more or less opposite.
