We stock a wide range of yarns and wools, mainly from J.c. During the winter months we are based around west Lancashire on the Leeds and Liverpool Canal in Burscough and then during the summer months we travel the inland waterways of the country, mooring up in villages and town's we pass through when we are open for the public to come aboard to purchase yarn's and all the other knittng equipment, pattern's, kneedles etc.

Opening plans for this week for the floating Lancashire Wool shop.
The Wool Boats plans for 1st to 7th June 2026
The plan is to be open near The Slipway on Thursday afternoon, the 4th June while it is the Knit and Natter in the pub when everyone is all welcome to join the Slipway Stitchers in the pub, welcoming any stitchers, in which ever craft, to join them from 1 until about 4. For further info call Carole on 07919 598911.
The Wool Boat should be moored a bit further along the public footpath that runs across the front of the pub with Capt Col in charge open from 1-4.
Any shares would be appreciated, thank you.
