🐑🛵 Coming through!

These two are taking market day at their own pace… and we have a feeling they’ve got quite the shopping list! 😂🛍️

Inspired by our friends at Affordable Mobility Skipton, our woolly duo are out and about on Skipton High Street - mobility scooter at the ready, walking frame in tow and plenty of stops at the market stalls along the way. 🐑💚

Because there’s more than one way to get around the Woolly Sheep Trail!

👓🐑 New glasses pending… but which pair?!

Our woolly friend has been trying on some new frames at Exley Optician and, quite frankly, is struggling to choose. 😂

From bright and bold to something a little more classic… which pair gets your vote? 👀

All aboard! 🦆

Our woolly friend has swapped Skipton’s streets for the canal and is enjoying a day out with Pennine Cruisers! ☀️

With the Leeds & Liverpool Canal running right through Skipton, we couldn’t have a Woolly Sheep Trail without sending one member of the flock out for a little cruise. 🐑

✏️📓 POV: You only went into Craven Stationery for one pen…and somehow came out prepared to write your next novel. 👀📚

Our woolly friend may have got a little carried away on their visit to Craven Stationery - but can you ever really have too many notebooks and pens? 🐑✍️

We’re saying no. 😂

🧶 Making way for the cosier yarns… 🍂

As we head towards autumn and winter, we’ll soon be making room for all those lovely warmer, cosier yarns - which means our summer-weight cottons won’t be restocked once they’re gone!

We still have a lovely selection of James C. Brett Pure 100% Cotton DK and Cotton Waves DK, perfect for lighter knits, crochet projects and getting a head start on next spring’s makes. 🌸☀️

✨ Pure 100% Cotton DK - £3.50
🌈 Cotton Waves DK - £3.75

So if you’ve got your eye on a particular shade, now’s the time to grab it - once our current stock is gone, it’s gone! 🧶💛

🎒🍎 Back to school, Skipton! ✏️🐑

With children across the area heading back to school this week and next, one of our woolly friends is all dressed up and ready for their very first day! 🥹📚

And if you’re still ticking off those last-minute uniform essentials (or wondering how they’ve managed to outgrow everything over the summer 🙃), make sure to pop into Skip To School in Skipton for school uniform, PE kit and all those back-to-school bits and pieces.

Before the school routine completely takes over, there’s still plenty of time to squeeze in a little Woolly Sheep Trail spotting too! 🐑🔎
