Welcome to The Willan Workshop
Where wool, yarn, and a love for slow-made crafts come together under one cozy roof.
We’re a husband and wife team based in Greater Manchester, pouring our passion into handcrafted crochet and wool felting. Every piece that leaves our workbench is made by hand with care, patience, and a deep appreciation for traditional skills.
Leanne brings her lifelong love of crochet to life in soft, detailed designs that are both functional and beautiful. From snuggly home décor to charming seasonal makes, her work blends warmth with timeless style.
Alongside her, you’ll find Paul, sculpting characterful creations through the art of needle felting and wet felting. Whether he’s shaping expressive animal figures or forming richly textured landscapes, Paul’s work draws on nature, folklore, and everyday magic. Each felted piece is full of personality, texture, and storytelling.
At The Willan Workshop, we believe in the magic of handmade. We embrace rustic materials, slow processes, and the joy of creating something meaningful with our hands. Whether you’re here to browse our latest makes, commission a one-of-a-kind gift, or just soak up some creative inspiration – we’re so glad you’ve found us.
Thank you for supporting small, independent craft.
