JOIN THE WOOL SCHOOL

We regularly run workshops for all abilities and our expert teachers can be booked for one to one lessons tailored to you.
Visiting the yarn shop
We know that knitting and crochet is about more than combining the right yarn and tools. At Ida’s House, we want you to find everything you need for your next project - including inspiration, confidence and skill.
We take the time to understand your vision, sharing our extensive knowledge of fit, fibre and equipment to set you up for success. Whether you need advice on which size to knit or the best yarn for your pattern, our friendly team is here to help.
If that all sounds scary, don’t worry! Everyone starts somewhere and we would love to get you started on your first project, just drop in to our yarn shop and see us soon.
