Woolderness is open from 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. And Sunday from 1 p.m. - 3 p.m.

We have a lot of new items this season:  new sizes and colors of our wool slippers, a new shipment of alpaca socks have arrived too!

A new item from artist, Margie, is cork trivets.

We have rag rug hotpads, locker hooked wool hotpads and locker hooked fabric hotpads -- a great selection for you to choose from.

New Needle Felting Kits are being assembled as I write this blog -- flowers, fish, sheep, mermaid, butterfly and girl with a fish balloon.
