Threads of Life Wool Shop
Castle Donington
Tues - Fri: 9.30 am - 5.00 pm
Saturday: 9.30 am - 3.30 pm
If you are interested in working with yarns or threads there’s nothing quite like coming into a shop where you can enjoy the colours and textures of a wide range of wools and silks. It’s a bit like being a child in the middle of a sweet shop!
That’s one of the things which has inspired me to open this new shop in the middle of our village. I also believe that knitting, and being creative with yarns and threads and fibres, is therapeutic and life-giving. Hence the name – Threads of Life.
I have knitted on and off for about 50 years, since I sat on the back lawn with the girl next door knitting clothes for our dolls! In between I have done embroidery, cross-stitch, needlepoint and spinning, so I've gained a lot of experience of working with threads over the years.
There is a wide range of knitting wools, patterns and accessories stocked, and also the full range of DMC stranded cottons and tapestry wools, plus cross-stitch kits and charts.
There’s a very useful haberdashery section including buttons, ribbons and more.
I can also take mail and telephone orders.
Advice and help is readily available.
