I’m 24 and have recently taken up knitting and I agree – it’s very difficult to find wool shops in Ireland. I like to cross-stitch too and it’s also difficult to find embroidery supplies. I know of two wool/sewing shops which were thriving businesses when I was a child but have closed down now which is really sad. I am just back from a trip to Scotland and North England and there are much more wool/sewing shops in the UK. Practically every town has one, even the small towns

I am really surprised at the lack of wool shops in Ireland. Having come over from the UK last year and needing wool, the only place I could find was a small shop in Longford Town which had a very limited selection! However we have now moved from Longford to Mayo and I will definitely be paying a visit to the shop in Ballina.
