The Wool Cabin relocates to larger unit in Chesterfield’s Market Hall
The Wool Cabin, located in Chesterfield town centre, has moved to a larger, double unit within the Market Hall, offering a wider range of products and improved services for its customers.
Jason Hampson, Owner of The Wool Cabin, said: “I had got to the stage before the lockdown that I simply could not fit any more wool in my unit. I am now able to show off all the wools I stock plus extending my ranges. There is so much space inside the new unit to offer more ranges and a better service. I run a ‘knit and natter club’ on a Tuesday which due to the restrictions in place I will hopefully resume as soon as possible.”
He added: “I have made a significant investment in the new unit as I believe the people of Chesterfield deserve yarns at great prices. I have a lot of loyal customers who I am hoping will return and hopefully new ones too. The new unit is now open and I have also invested in a card machine so that my customers can pay by debit or credit card.”
Since The Wool Cabin first opened inside the Market Hall in February 2015, Jason and the team have steadily increased both the ranges and stock availability to better meet the demand in Chesterfield. The Wool Cabin is also involved in community projects and in the past have helped raise money for The Bluebell Wood Hospice as well as providing a significant amount of red wool for the 100th anniversary of WW1 last year.
Jason spoke about his family’s history of selling wool in Chesterfield: “My family has been in the wool retailing trade since the 1980’s when my late mother began working in a shop, she later opened her own wool shop. My dad carried on with retailing wool and first appeared on Chesterfield’s market in 2008. When I returned home in 2013 we decided to look at a permanent base for the business. When we heard the previous owner had decided to retire we decided it was a good time to open a permanent stall due to the demand from the public of Chesterfield.”
The new store is open from Monday 15th June and will be trading between 8am and 4pm but will be closed on Wednesdays and Sundays. The store will soon return to its former 9am-5pm opening hours. Customers can check the latest updates via The Wool Cabin’s social media channels.
