PageHall-er   10 #1 Posted December 12, 2018 Hi Forum crafty folks Just like to say how wonderful this shop is at 58Bellhouse Road. I had problems sourcing a particular wool - googled Sheffield wool shops and rang wonderful Marilyn and she had it. They've been there 80 years! - started by her grandfather in 1938. Loads of stock, not the specialist and expensive yarns, I would say, but all the same... and she is so helpful. So njice to think it;s still going after surviving dips in knitting interest over the years. She says her furthest customer had come from Sweden, was taking some wool to Cinciatti, then calling in agin on the way home to Sweden. Ppeople find her from all over the country. Please support her and say hello. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
gene   10 #2 Posted April 8, 2019 Always thought it was called Marilyns and before that it was Mathews as her parents ran it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
nikki-red   308 #3 Posted April 8, 2019 (edited) Its actual title is 'Matthews (Marilyn) Wool Shop'. We always just knew it as Marilyns tho. Great to see it still on the go after all these years.        Edited April 8, 2019 by nikki-red Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
