Fully Stocked, New Classes & COVID Update

Hello to all of you from Camp Wool! It’s been over 2 months at our new location and we are so happy with the new location. It is just perfectly suited for all our needs and we have so much more space and great light to see everything. We felt our first “Fall Air” this last week which tells us that our gardens will soon be put to bed and our hooks, needles and threads will start calling us again. Whether it's something for yourself or your next Christmas present, now is a great time for a visit! We are fully stocked with beautiful wool including a fresh crop of hand dyes. We just got in a large grouping of cross stitch linen and wonderful new cottons as well! So we hope you will be able to make that fall stock up trip before we head into winter!!! We look forward to seeing you!!! Also remember we have two Open Sews each month where you can come and stitch and time! Always the first and third Wed!

Also, for those that have been asking, we have posted a few beginner classes for Applique and Punch Needle! Due to spikes in COVID numbers we have limited our class sizes so we can properly social distance. Vaccination is required to take a class unless medically unable. Masks may or may not be required based on current CDC guidelines, Washington County Status and Maine as a whole. Our front door will always contain our current policy on masking based on the latest status.

New Open Sew Dates Announced

Hello and Welcome to Milbridge!

We are in our third week and have had a wonderful warm reception from people in the area and visits by many familiar faces too!!!! Thanks to all of you for making us feel welcome and part of the community! I have enclosed some fun open house photos which will hopefully give you a sense of scale of the new store. Even after moving in with all our merchandise it still feels warm and very spacious. We’ve added new designers and more wool and merchandise to fill what is a much larger store then before….. Worth a trip I hope!!!

While our full compliment of classes won’t start until September, we are starting a new “Open Sew” opportunity in our new and very spacious yet cozy class room area!!! Starting in August we will have dates available for you to come in with friends or come in to meet some like minded people to sew with!!! Read below for more information.
