    avoca handweavers maybe?

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Stephanie from the Yarn ROom also does online shopping with free delivery within Ireland if you can't make it down to her shop. There's a great group of people down there.
    www.theyarnroom.com
    However I would highly recommend a visit as it's a social outing too!
    They also do a knit night every Thursday 6.30-9.00 and there is always help at hand if you are knitting something difficult!
    Fab selection of wool and accessories and pattern books!

    Go for it!

    Kustom kidz in Arklow, opp Bridge Hotel, and the Bluebell on the Main Street do wool and needles.

    I second the journey to the Yarn Shop in Ashford, and I think they do classes as well.
