Woolarium

At this Northcote wool emporium, knitting is far more than a way to pass the time. It’s a valuable skill, it’s an art form and it’s a shared experience. For this reason, owner Sharon Kellock runs regular classes, which range from beginner level to more advanced colour work and lace sessions, as well as a weekly Sit ‘n’ Knit social knitting club (Sun 2-4pm). Inside the store, you’ll find yarn and patterns from brands including Blue Sky Alpacas, Debbie Bliss, Jo Sharp and Rowan.
