About Ammonite Yarns

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...

Ammonite Yarns was established in 2015 by Jenny Watts and Ruth Moore. We both love yarn and wanted to share our enthusiasm with the world (or at least our small part of it!). Our shop in Pontyclun is part of our plan to remedy the yarn famine in South Wales

At Ammonite Yarns, we source and sell gorgeous yarns at a sensible price with an emphasis on British suppliers. We love natural fibres (British wool where possible) and also showcase a selection of beautiful specialist yarns from small producers. Lovers of more mainstream yarns won't miss out as we choose the best of those too

Ruth and Jenny are both passionate about sharing their skills with others. We hold classes for beginners, run workshops on more advanced techniques and host informal drop-in knitting and crochet groups where all are welcome
