What it does
Wool Warehouse sells yarn, knitting and crochet tools, patterns, fabric and needlecraft supplies. Its reference charts compare needle sizes and yarn-weight terminology across several naming systems.
Wool Warehouse lets a pattern-led shopper browse yarn by weight, brand or intended type, such as sock yarn, crochet thread and self-patterning yarn. Its conversion charts help interpret a pattern written with unfamiliar needle or yarn terminology. The site labels those conversions as approximate, so they are a reference point rather than a substitute for the pattern's own requirements. Currency conversion is also approximate: the shop states that orders are charged in British pounds. That distinction matters when comparing an overseas display price with a local shop.
