Our diverse selection of crochet and knitting products has created a lively community of crafters united by a love of natural yarns.
At Baa!’s home in Stonehaven, Aberdeenshire we’re proud to offer an open space for learning and encouragement. Seasoned knitters, crocheters, and newbies alike – we’re here for everyone who’s eager to dive into a world of crafting.
Baa! owner and fibre nut, Janice, claims to have an atrocious memory, but, despite this, she’s able to locate any one of our 200+ shades of Jamiesons of Shetland Spindrift with impressive accuracy!
Janice has worked as a freelance knitwear designer, mum, childminder, children’s art tutor,
Rowan Yarns Consultant (John Lewis, Aberdeen), pattern writer and knitting tutor.
After establishing a successful knit group in Stonehaven in 2012, a tiny seed was planted. That seed finally grew and blossomed with the opening of Baa! in 2018.
Wool has so many incredible benefits and we aim to pass them on to you.
With a BA(Hons) in Textiles from Grays School of Art (now RGU, Aberdeen), Janice began her career via a work placement at Drumohr, a cashmere factory in Dumfries, Scotland. Sadly, now closed, this short but valuable experience triggered a lifelong love and appreciation of natural fibres and finishing techniques.
Janice is the knowledgeable, friendly face behind Baa! Whether you visited the shop, sent an email or shopped online from the Baa! website, you will have been served by Janice.
Stonehaven, Scotland has been our family home for over 30 years, and I can’t imagine living anywhere else.
Recently described by one of our knit group members as The Willy Wonka sweetie shop for yarn lovers, our compact, corner shop is filled with bright and colourful yarns ready to welcome you into our flock.
Located within a convenient 25-minute drive from Aberdeen airport and city center, Baa! benefits from excellent bus and rail connections, making it easily accessible for both our local customer base, and beyond. We’d love for you to pay us a visit!
