Really enjoyed this afternoon course, my mobility is not good and I thought I might struggle as it can be quite physical. Ali. Was an excellent and patient tutor. I was delighted with my two small makes and will certainly be trying this at home.nwhatcaclovely friendly atmosphere as always at Wool on the Exe.

I had a great afternoon knitting a small sock at Wool on the Exe today. Thank you Debbie for your help and your very calm approach to teaching. I now feel confident in finishing off my adult size sock.

A busy, interesting and inspiring day. Ethel is an excellent tutor, patient and humorous and with a fund of knowledge and experience that she shares with great generosity and at a gentle pace: a lot of information was given out but without overwhelming. Our group comprised knitters of various experience and we all received help and encouragement appropriate to our needs. Ethel showed a variety of pieces of her work (all stunningly beautiful) and explained how she had done each project and some of the pitfalls to be aware of, which was so inspiring. Everyone was able to do the sample exercises at their own pace and in a friendly and welcoming environment. I really had the most excellent day.

I bought 2 of these and I will be buying more. Not only really comfortable to use, but the silicone handle remains fixed in position and doesn't move around during use.

I have only ever very briefly dabbled in knitting before this class, attempting to self-teach, each time not getting very far, and giving up. Wool On The Exe is a very welcoming place and a lovely place to learn. Trudi is a great teacher and created a relaxed environment where you're not afraid to make mistakes and ask for help. I've continued to knit since this class and I've booked on for more advanced classes in the future that I cannot wait for. I 100% recommend, and can't wait to come back!

This is a great course - I had no experience of knitting and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Trudi was very helpful and patient. The wool on the Exe is a great place. Thank you so much! I am now starting my first knitting project!

Poor Sam! One afternoon she stoically coaxed me through the pattern for the shawl. I have to say, as an ex teacher, I am a lousy student… but with her patience I got my head round what I needed to do. I feel like I frogged more than I crocheted for the first few rows (yes, I am aware that’s impossible!), but I got to the end of the shawl at home, with an even number of stitches on both sides! Thanks Sam, and the Woolie Team. Evidence attached.

I saw these beautiful works of art at the London Stitch Festival. The beautiful yarns just jumped out at me from the circular designs on the white display boards. I decided to buy the Peach blossom pattern and stated it almost immediately. A fantastic project for using your prescious stashed yarn! Loved every moment.

A lovely yarn, very soft, and excellent stitch definition

I got two jumper quantities of Exmoor a while back, I’ve used Whortleberry to knit up a Hinterm Stein cardigan which I am wearing to death. It’s a great sturdy yarn with beautiful stitch definition. It was a great deal when I got it, but now, on sale, it’s an absolute steal.

I took this course at the end of June. Debbie was a fantastic instructor. It was a complicated and challenging project but well worth it in the end. I actually managed to finish the headband by the end of the afternoon! I took it home and blocked it and then wove all the ends in. I was very pleased with the result. I have taken a number of courses at Wool on the Exe. They have all been rewarding and I have grown in confidence with every one of them thanks to such great instruction.

Took this course this morning. It was great fun. The teacher, Laura, explained what we were going to do, helped when we went a little astray. She also explained why it had gone awry. She was thorough but made it fun too. It was extremely hard to believe that it was her first time teaching needle punching.
Thank you to both Laura and Debbie for organising it. Hoping you’ll do it again 😀

Just did this course this afternoon. Ginny is an amazing teacher and so patient too… especially when I couldn’t get my decoration to stick to my pot. Ginny teaches us how to layer fibre and to then wet felt it adding decorative additions , this is a practice piece. You then move on to making a pot using the skills you have learned and with her guidance. Lovely atmosphere in the shop as always.

I had a lovely few hours learning to dye with food colouring. Debbie was a really lovely instructor and explained things very clearly. There was a lovely, friendly, relaxed atmosphere.
I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and look forward to trying out other workshops.

This workshop was run by Trudi - what a delightful inspiring person. Full of knowledge - and help.
So encouraging and patient- a thousand thank you’s. You have inspired a new hobby - I couldn’t be more grateful.
The space and people are just a complete delight.
Thank you “Wool on the Exe” I will be back !
