GetOutTheDoor Jul 2021 4:19pm, 19 Jul 2021 133 posts	0 GetOutTheDoor I went to the crookabeck farm shop last year (in patterdale). It is tiny, but has some lovely yarn. Much of it is fairly natural and from very local sheep. I enjoyed it. Have yet to knit up the various treats I bought.

Ness Jul 2021 5:09pm, 21 Jul 2021 16,237 posts	0 Ness I used up all my wool stash making mittens and scarves to give to charity in the autumn. Now just have the Aran wool I’m using for my autumn cardigan. It’s lovely wool, knitting up really well.
