ABOUT

Located in the historic Covered Market, The Woolhound is bringing British wool, yarn, and notions to central Oxford. Jess is passionate about offering supplies and support to every level of crafter at a wide range of price points. Along with Sirdar, Stylecraft, and Erika Knight yarns, you can find hand-dyed 100% wool and craft kits by lovely UK-based small businesses. The Woolhound offers a student discount and will have classes launching later this year! For more information, visit thewoolhound.com.

The Woolhound Oxford

Having made several moves, the largest one being to the UK four years ago, and being a crafter myself, I know that the first place a knitter or crocheter usually looks for is the local yarn shop. Now having settled in Oxford with our family, I noticed there was a gap in the market for the student and beginner stitching communities. I hope to grow The Woolhound into a welcoming and inclusive shop that long-time locals and incoming crafters will enjoy visiting.
