Get crafty with Springwools, Walkinstown

Getting arts-and-crafty is officially cool again. The popularity of knitting has grown tenfold since the recession has taken a chunk out of our economy and our purses. As well as being thrifty one of the great things about knitting is that there’s no better feeling than seeing something you’ve worked on turn into a finished piece. From beginners to advanced knitters there is an idea for everybody at Springwools, an indigenous wool retailer and wholesaler based in Walkinstown in Dublin. Choose from 2000 knitting and crochet yarns, a variety of patterns, knitting magazines and different types of needles. Shop online on their website, which posts weekly special offers, plus those of you who don’t have a credit card, like myself, will be glad to hear that they accept Laser cards as payment too. Happy knitting! Springwools, The Olde Sawmills, Ballymount Rd, Walkinstown, Dublin 12, Tel: 01 450 9134, Web: www.springwools.com
