It's been a really busy Summer season for us! There seemed to be lots more people visiting Falmouth than last year. The new Sirdar yarns have been a big hit, especially Spirit DK, No.1 and Colourwheel. We've also just had the new Wendy yarns in! There's the colourful Aurora DK and it counterpart in chunky Stella Chunky. We expect them to sell well due to thier quality and very reasonable price.

Our other newest yarns include the 100g ball of 20% Alpaca Tundra Super Chunky in subtle, variegated shades. It's a beautiful yarn, incredibly soft at a great price. Dapple DK is one of my favourites. It’s a beautifully dyed mottled yarn which is something sadly lacking in DK yarns. Spirit DK is 20% Wool self pattering striped yarn that we know some of our customers are going to fall in love with. Imagination Chunky is a soft flecked, bright vibrant yarn with some great patterns. Finally, Blossom Dk Is the DK version of one of our biggest sellers of last year. This was a no-brainer for us as the Chunky version wowed people with it’s no effort, self patterning flower effect.

Cornwall’s leading Wool & Needlecraft shop has been selling yarn for over thirty years. Offering exciting new yarns together with traditional classics in a myriad of colours to suit all tastes, The Wool Basket also provides all the accessories and haberdashery that you will require.

Located on the main street in sunny Falmouth, Cornwall, Jill & Charles Pay and staff have gained many years of experience of successful trading. Due to requests from our visiting customers, many of whom have shown dismay at the lack of local wool shops in their areas, we have finally brought our shop online. Here, you will find the latest yarns at competitive prices and the same level of customer service that has made us the leading stockist of the major brands throughout the South West.
