WELCOME TO IPPIKIN

An Independent yarn store nestled in the heart of Shropshire.

THE STORY SO FAR

Ippikin is an independent yarn store nestled in the heart of Much Wenlock. Its been here for over 16 years, and in April 2018, I (Molly) took over the shop. Having worked at Ippikin for 2 years, I realised that I never wanted to leave the cave of colour that it is. When the previous owners mentioned retirement, I simply couldn't resist and took the plunge of owning my own business - it was a real dream come true!
