Meet Irene

I’m Irene, the face behind Woolly Wol, and I’ve been knitting for as long as I can remember.

I first learnt from my grandmother when I was six, knitting a tiny cardigan for my favourite teddy. Since then, knitting has become both a creative outlet and a way to slow down and unwind.

Woolly Wol was born from a love of knitting and a passion for teaching, creating a space where people can come together, learn new skills and enjoy the process just as much as the finished piece.
