Holiday Message 2023

Well, we sure have had a busy year getting this new shop open and stocked to the gills with fun merchandise and new samples every week. We have been busy making kits and don't forget we sell gift certificates for your favorite crafter!!!! Many have asked and we wanted to make sure you know that we ARE open all year round at our last and final location here in Hollis Center, ME! Our open days remain the same (Wednesday through Saturday) during the winter, however we close at 3:00 this time of year due to darkness. We will post early in the spring when that will change.  

While winter has been good to us so far, inevitably we will see some challenging weather. If you have any questions about weather and if we are open or possible opening late for snow removal just check into our Camp Wool Facebook page for open status on a particular day. Please do not rely on the website for weather announcements, as it takes time to long to get updates to our website.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

We have had so much fun greeting returning customers and meeting our new neighbors here in southern Maine! We greatly appreciate your patronage and look forward to 2024 and beyond with loads of new merchandise, new class offerings and all the pleasures that come in the making!!! May you and your family seek out the joys that come with being together this holiday season.

Take care and Best Wishes!

LeAnn and Mark Hodgson

Update April 13, 2023

Hello to All Our Wonderful Customers!!

Well, we are three weeks from opening and having so much fun seeing so many familiar faces and enjoying meeting so many new recruits to Camp Wool too!!!! Now that we have our feet under us at the new location, we are starting to post more classes so keep your eye out for something that you might like to learn!! Just give us a call at the store if you're interested. Please note that my web person is taking a well-deserved break, so I won't be making any new posts till early May! In the meantime, I wanted to update you on a few fun things with one gentle reminder!

New Wools for Spring have arrived!!!

We just got in a large shipment of wools, and I can honestly say I don't think we've ever had a better selection in the store at one time!!

New Cottons!!!

We've just received some wonderful new cottons as well. I often hear from customers that we have a great variety of cottons you won't find elsewhere! I really enjoy looking for fun prints and patterns that I think work lovely into projects. If you are a quilter, come in and take a look! I think you will enjoy the look!!! Note: We always have an in-store special Buy 5 ½ yard precuts get the 6th for free!!!

Open Sews on Hold/Scheduling Groups!

We are still working on some final unpacking, so we are not quite ready for open sews but if you want to have your group come and stitch for the day, we are taking reservations. For a $5.00 per person donation to our local animal shelter you can come with your group and spend the day!!! Call to reserve.

Teaser - New Applique Project Class with Deb Beudreau of Rustic Country Handcrafts

We don't quite have all the details worked out at the time of this writing, but Deb is designing a custom design for Camp Wool where you will have a wonderful opportunity to learn her methods of embroidery/wool applique with an emphasis on using embellishments, found/one-of-a-kind lace, buttons and more. This will be a one-day class and targeted dates are Friday, June 2 or Saturday, June 3. If you are interested in learning more and getting put on a priority list, please call the store and we will get you more information soon!

Feeling a Little Under the Weather??

We are a fun cozy shop and while windows can now be opened (yeah) germs are still amongst us! If you're feeling that itch or a cough coming on, please visit with a mask and/or free masks at the door if you need one!

Take care and hoping for a healthy happy spring for all!
