Fankle wools and needlecrafts would like to welcome you to our online shop. We hope you enjoy browsing the products, and that you find what you were looking for - and more. Please let us know what you think of the site and how we can improve our customer service.
What would YOU like to see here?
At present we are mainly concerned with selling off the slightly older stock we are currently holding, hence the discount at checkout. Our flat rate shipping cost can be negotiated if you only require a couple of items.
We are in the process of updating the site (and who would have thought it would take so long?) and apologise for the unfinished nature of the shop, but please phone or email if we can help you with something.
We'll keep you updated about how we're doing, and hopefully you can see how we're getting on.

Jamie Possum yarn is from New Zealand, and can be knitted to DK or to Aran patterns. It's a luxuriously warm mix of merino wool and possum yarn, with the latter's hollow fibres providing a supercosy and snuggly fibre. A lovely and ecologically friendly yarn. Can be felted.
The possum is an introduced animal and the many million invaders consume thousands of tonnes of native NZ vegetation every year and eat many of the native animal species. Rather than destroy the pelts from the desperately needed culls, the Dept of Conservation in New Zealand has allowed some of the fibres to be used in the manufacture of yarn. See www.jamiepossum.co.uk for further details.
