Wales is rightly famous for its green hillsides covered in sheep. But would you believe it has a surprising shortage of yarn shops? Some of us look at those fields of sheep and wonder where all that wool goes...

We are Ruth and Jenny, the founders of Ammonite yarns, a new shop selling knitting and crochet yarns and accessories in Pontyclun, South Wales. Knitting is our passion and any knitter knows that you can't knit without a stash, so at Ammonite Yarns, our stated aim is to bring more choice to knitters and crocheters in our part of South Wales.

The money we raise through this campaign will be used to purchase extra yarns to give our customers the widest possible choice.


We plan to showcase yarns that are usually easily available only on the internet, and to focus on natural fibres and British yarns.  For our big name suppliers we are planning to stock Drops Designs from Norway and TB Ramsdens (Wendy, Robin, Peter Pan) from Yorkshire. We also want to have yarns from smaller producers like West Yorkshire Spinners, Woolly Knits, Milla Mia, Fybrespates and Rooster Yarns to name but a few of our fantastic British producers.  Together these yarns will satisfy a broad spectrum knitting and crochet needs, so that every yarn addict will enjoy visiting us.

We will run knitgroups and workshops from the shop so that we can share skills and techniques as well as publish patterns to go with the yarns.  

The premises and basic stock for the shop we can fund ourselves but we would like your help to raise another £5,000 to really make this a shop of delights.

The Perks!!

Our perks range from discount codes valid for two years on all yarn purchases to toys and garments handknitted for you.  These may be a cuddly ammonite or a fine lace scarf or a unique hand-knitted jumper -- it all depends on how much you contribute. 


Your contributions will make a huge difference to the range of yarns we will have in our shop. We will be able to stock more of the less well-known brands, particularly the specialist British wool ones. Customers who visit our shop – in person or on-line – will be able to explore yarns they don't often see elsewhere. The extended choice in yarns and colours will all be down to you!

Even if you can't contribute money, you can help us by sharing this campaign, our Facebook page and website to your friends. The more support we have, the better the shop will be. You can do this by using the share tools on this website: http://www.ammoniteyarns.moonfruit.com
