The Wool Lady Shop~

The Wool Lady Shop in Old Town Temecula is worth a visit even if you don’t work with wool.  AND if you are a Wool Crazy Quilter, Hooker or a knitter then you will be in Wool HEAVEN!!

The Wool Lady has racks, baskets and a whole WALL of wool patterns and shelves of wool books!!

Ah hah!!  Is that ANNE caught in the act?!  Yup…she is buying WOOL!  She looks like a deer caught in the head lights…!!  If I know Anne she will have several projects completed by our next quilting day!

I know the feeling Anne…I was feeling the same way…just LOOK at all this wonderful wool…and this shelf went right around the room!  Fat Quarters of wool were $13.95, small pieces were $4.50-$6.00 and small strips (about 2”x 6”) were $2.  She also had wool on the bolt for $32.

Not only does the Wool Lady dye her own wool but she also dyes her own wool threads…Lovely stuff! A rope/skein of dyed wool was $2.95.

She carries several different threads…DMC Perle Cotton, Valdani, embroidery threads as well as her wool threads…also buttons, bells, snowflakes, ribbons, roving, yarn…among other things..

LOTS of ideas~

Sweet little pin cushions made inside an old mason jar lid!  Very cute!

Love the way there are different coloured buttons on each wool tongue!

Here is the Wool Lady herself…not a very good picture of her…caught her in a laugh!  She took time out to show me how she dyes wool…yes she sells Cushings Dye!!  She has three draws of it and in all the colours!

I could have EASILY spent another hour here but…it was lunch time…TILL NEXT TIME…

Well that’s two shops down…two more to go!  But first lunch…you can sure work up an appetite shopping! 

Here’s the motley crew getting ready to chow down! 

Make sure you come back tomorrow…we are off to Temecula Quilt Co…..OOOooooh the quilts there were exquisite!!  Seeing is believing…I’m just sayin’….

Have a magical Monday and Happy Quilting!~P
