Boo's Attic

Boo's Attic Welcome to Boo’s Attic! I’m Clare, the creator behind Boo's Attic. I specialise in luxurious ya No two are ever quite the same. He always came out with treasure.

I specialise in luxurious yarns and British and rare breed sheep fleece, locks and batts. Every skein of yarn, locks or batt of fibre is individually hand painted, like painting on canvas. I am passionate about supporting the British wool industry and love the different effects you get when dyeing, spinning and knitting with rare breed sheep’s fleeces. As a child, I would follow my dad up the atti

c step ladder to stand at the top and peer into the corners. Now I'm the curator of Boo's Attic, a space I share with my 2 cats, in the heart of Cambridge city. Peak in the corners, open the old suitcases and hat boxes, and discover the kaleidoscope of colour, and see if you find a treasure.

You can get in for free if you want to come and see me. I will be in the main entrance.

This will be your last chance to purchase my hand dyed yarns, upcycled quilting fabrics and sewing kits. As I'm closing down my yarn dyeing business.

The good news is, I will also have some of my silversmithing work for sale, my business I have been running for a year now. Including some sterling silver shawl pins.

I would love to see all my lovely customers, and hope you snag some of the last of my beautiful yarns. There's still plenty to choose from.
