Ann Louise and Thistle

Each issue we explore a UK yarn shop!

Who’s in charge? Claire and Kate, though mum Jean is the owner.

Where can we find you? We have two shops: Ann Louise in Portsmouth and Thistle nearby in Cowplain.

What are your shops like? Traditional wool and haberdashery shops with a modern twist. We have extensive knowledge, and a vast stock of all things woolly, fabric and buttons.

What do you stock? Our most popular products are Sirdar Snuggly, Stylecraft Special DK and Happy Cotton.

What are you offering during lockdown? We have our online shop, an order and collect service, and local delivery to those in need. We help a CAL group and do inspirational posts for customers, both on Facebook.
