Let customers speak for us
from 260 reviewsLove this yarn; it’s so beautifully soft and easy to knit up. I’ll be back for more when I finish this project:)

A truly special shop, knowledgeable staff and beautiful yarn.
This shop supports independent dyers and spinners and gives them the window to show off their products. I feel that this is so important to keep on doing this. It has enabled me to try yarn from people I would never have discovered.
It doesn’t feel like a yarn shop to me either, more like a special, welcoming place to meet with like minded people.

These fixed points are so much better than my very expensive interchangeable needles which do not stay done up whatever I do!!

The workshop provided a detailed and informative introduction to this knitting technique. The atmosphere was informal and nurturing. A thoroughly enjoyable experience! Thank you 🧶

Holds lots of stitches and the needle end is well secured in the green rubber stop end.

Very welcoming, friendly, helpful, knowledgable staff! Thankyou! We are lucky to have the Wool on the Exe in Exeter!

Zing needles are very easy to use, they have a lovely smooth finish and come in beautiful bright colours.

This yarn is so beautiful and so soft! It’s yarn dyed by Debbie, the owner of Wool on the Exe, and is much longer than the usual 100g skein with a length of 460 metres. It has a range of gorgeous greens, my favourite colour!

A really great workshop to challenge yourself with a new technique. The small number of participants means that this is an informal session that allows for one to one support on unfamiliar concepts. I found Debbie’s instruction really clear and supportive - having tried online tutorials several times with no success - and got more than expected done in the time, I would really recommend this to anyone wanting to learn entrelac.

Perfect wool for the item I needed it for!

Very soothing and meditative
Learnt to crochet after 1 session and will get a pattern to follow next time

Comes in great colour combinations, great for socks - loved by little ones and big ones!

Jackie is a delight to work with - nothing fazes her, she is so knowledgeable about knitting (also crochet etc.) and will find solutions to problems very swiftly even though she has no idea what is going to appear in front of her! Not only problem solving but tips and tricks. Jackie is a highly valued member of the Wool On The Exe team and, of course, the fee goes to charity.

Wool on the Exe provide a one stop shop for quality yarns and accessories for all your knitting and wool craft projects.
The Zing brand needles are great quality, I like the colour coding for the sizing, I’m slowly building up the full range.
