It is with great regret that we have decided to say goodbye to a firm favourite at The Wool Shack, Rowan yarns! They have been stocked in The Wool Shack for nearly 8 years, but trends have changed, prices have hiked and people have moved on, so now, after much deliberation, we have decided that new brands need to grace our shelves. This will be your last chance to buy Rowan from us, and with 25% off all existing stock, it's time to plump up your stash! Books and magazines have a whopping 50% off, which is great news for your library!
