The business was started by Kevin and Patsy Spring. Also helping to put a spring in your stitch are staff Gavin, Lorraine, Suzanne, Catherine, Conor, Yasmin, Julia, Sinead and teacher Margaret. Springwools is a great big shop with plenty of comfy seating and tables - you can take your time browsing in comfort, and sit down to peruse books and patterns at your leisure. In order to have such a large premises brimming with an amazing selection of yarns at great prices, we have to be a little off the beaten track. We’re based in the heart of Walkinstown - there’s a map and directions on the Contact & Location page.
The extensive selection of yarns, patterns, books and materials we carry cater for all budgets, tastes, abilities and ages. We supply inexpensive bargain yarn to school kids just learning, as well as the very finest luxury yarns to experienced knitting connoisseurs - and we don’t charge the earth for either. We believe everybody should be knitting and crocheting, so we strive to keep our prices affordable. If we don't have what you’re looking for, we’re happy to order yarn, patterns and books especially for you whenever we can.
Should you find yourself stumped by a stitch or puzzled by a pattern, we can help - the Springwools staff includes expert knitters who have designed knitwear commercially and worked for well-known knitwear designers. We also run knitting and crochet classes for all ability levels. If you’re unable to visit the shop in person, don't forget that there's always someone on the other end of the Springwools phoneline to lend a hand with your yarn or knitting queries.
We hope to see you soon!
