Discover a working wool studio in the heart of Staveley Mill Yard. Assa Marra Wool Studio is a family-run maker specialising in hand-dyed British yarn, knitting patterns and creative workshops. Its riverside studio brings design, dyeing, packing and a welcoming shop together in one place.
What makes Assa Marra special?
Rather than selling mass-produced souvenirs, Assa Marra celebrates specialist textile skills. Visitors can browse colourful hand-dyed British wool and discover the work of knitwear designer Susan Crawford. The studio is a particularly worthwhile stop for knitters, crocheters and anyone interested in contemporary Lakeland craft.
Classes and workshops
The studio also hosts a programme of knitting and other yarn-related classes and workshops. Check the current programme and book directly with the business before making a special journey.
