The Foundry Works

Every month we explore one of our favourite UK yarn shops!

Who’s in charge? I guess that’s me! Hi, I’m Claire.

Where can we find you? Hiding in an industrial unit in Rotherham, SouthYorkshire. When did your doors first open? October 2020 – not the best timing! What is your shop like?

to browse and shop with ease.The shelves are always well stocked and customers come in to craft and chat over a cuppa which gives the shop a lovely community feel.

Popular products? Our selection of indie yarns do well and it’s really nice to be able to support them. Stylecraft, Rico and West Yorkshire Spinners are our most popular big brands.

Who shops at your shop? Absolutely everyone. Men, women, children, starters, pros, locals and day trippers – there’s such a mix and they’re all lovely!

Top knitting tip? Come prepared with a list – you probably won’t stick to it, but you can try! If you have a pattern in mind then make sure you remember to bring it with you.
