CoolCrafting

CoolCrafting in Kendal is a modern craft shop where casual browsing can quickly become a full-blown creative identity crisis. One minute you're “just having a look”; the next you're holding yarn, fabric and a kit that suggests you’ll be spending every weekend making things. Dogs are welcome inside, so paws and people can browse together.

The shop is packed with supplies and ideas for sewing, knitting, crochet and general crafting, with plenty of inspiration for beginners and experienced makers alike. It’s a friendly spot for rainy-day pottering, gift hunting or discovering a new hobby you’ll immediately become emotionally invested in.

Visiting dogs receive a particularly lovely welcome, with a fresh water bowl outside and gravy bones waiting behind the till. They may even become part of CoolCrafting’s #dogsinyarnshops collection, with photos taken in the yarn room and shared on Instagram Stories.
