In the Wool
The go-to crafting newsletter for articles, discounts, free patterns, exclusive giveaways & more!
In the Wool is a crafting newsletter created by Alex from Babes in the Wool, a family run wool shop in Hull.
Our family has been in the craft industry for nearly 40 years, and we decided it was time to start sharing the fun stories, useful knowledge and crafting tips that we’ve come across.
What’s Inside?
In the Wool is a collection of articles, news, interest pieces and behind the scenes of a working wool shop. We also love to showcase other makers, with interviews, shoutouts, and charity work spotlights.

I love supporting small, independent businesses, and it’s even better when they’re local too! In this Maker Spotlight, I’m going to introduce you to Natalie, a mum of 8 from Hull who creates knitted wire words and decorations for the home. Natalie is a lovely customer of ours and I’m sure you will enjoy reading all about her story.
