Miju Wools

Who’s in charge? Diane is the owner. Her fab team help her – Carol, Sue and Lin.

Where can we find you? We’re next door to the main gate to Gloucester Cathedral.

When did your doors first open? Miju wools was first established in 2011.

What is your shop like? We’re a friendly, helpful, traditional wool shop. During normal

times we have people meeting every day for a knit and natter, sock knitting lessons and a

variety of workshops. So we are a real social hub in the community.

Popular products? Our wide range of sock yarn, baby wools and DK yarn.

Who shops at your shop? Beginners to experienced knitters and crocheters – people

looking for gifts for knitting friends or people looking for inspiration for their next project. We

give a warm welcome to all our customers!

Top shopping tip? Put wool by for up to a month so you don’t have to purchase it all in

one go. This ensures that you have the correct dye lot.
