Pembrokeshire
More than a third of this beautiful county is occupied by a Coastal National Park; its beaches are award-winning and it is full of wonderful wool shops…
TEENI’S WOOL CYMRU Collection by appointment
Unit 16C, Waterston Industrial Estate, Main Road, Waterston, Milford Haven SA73 1DP This shop has one of our favourite origin stories ever – after accidentally purchasing a whole pallet of yarn instead of a few balls, Christine decided to open her own online store selling yarn, patterns and handmade items. Primarily internet based, locals are welcome to collect directly from the warehouse by arrangement. Visit www.twcyarn.com or call 03330 501743 (6pm-10pm) for more information.
