Walk Down Memory Lane With Black Sheep Wools

We've changed a lot since Black Sheep Wools was founded in 1983. We started as one shop in Culcheth, Warrington then expanded throughout the North West.

Over time we have evolved to exhibit at many of the country's best loved yarn and craft shows and expanded into online retailing. We're known for our exciting projects and have a community of followers from all around the world; you can join them in our Facebook Make Along group. 

With changing times, we moved all our smaller shops into one, the UK's largest knitting, crochet and stitching shop, The Craft Barn. Here are some pictures from our archive.
