The Wool Clip co-operative formed in 2001 and today has more than 15 members who together run the thriving Wool Clip shop in Caldbeck.

• Our aim is to share our enthusiasm for all things woollen
  
  
• Our work focuses on colour and creativity and everything in The Wool Clip shop is made by us (or used in our crafts)
  
  
• Our skills include farming as well as wool spinning, dyeing, knitting, crochet, weaving, felting, rugmaking and other textile arts

The Wool Clip is made up of enthusiastic designers and makers and we juggle our work with farming, families and other commitments. By creating a co-operative, we were able to raise the profile of our work and create a shop that we could share - each member spends a couple of days per month in the shop.

Our shop is based in the Priest's Mill at Caldbeck (just down from the Church, near the river) and we are open every day from mid-February to the New Year from 11am to 4pm.

Members are also responsible for organising the annual Woolfest in Cockermouth, Cumbria - this started in 2005 and now attracts over 100 stallholders and 4000 visitors every year.
