M/M.’s wool shop, 2 New Market Street, Cahirciveen, Co. Kerry. Phone 087-6972021. email: margarethvbemmelen AT hotmailcom
A small shop with a reasonable stock of yarns, including the Dutch brand Scheepjes. Also stocks haberdashery, and does clothes alterations.
Cahirciveen is on the main tourist route in Kerry, the Ring of Kerry, and there are always a lot of tourists and holidaymakers around in the summertime. It’s on the way into town, from the Glenbeigh direction, and is just before the main shopping street, and might be passed by!

Hickey’s, Savoy Centre, Cork City, Co. Cork
Now selling wool…mainly Patons and Tivoli. They also brought in knitting needles and crochet hooks and other haberdashery for the craft, including patterns. Hickey’s is fabulous for fabric, but now that they’ve added a wool section, even a small one, is just great.
