Pelotes de Pénélope

Sabine shares her love of yarn in Paimpol

After a few years in Paris, I decided to return to Brittany and settle in Paimpol. My shop, Les Pelotes de Pénélope , has found its new home in the heart of the city, on Place Gambetta (Place des Halles). It's a return to my roots, guided by my heart. I offer a wide selection of knitting yarns, clothing accessories and leading brands, both French and historic: Fonty, Katia, Lang Yarns, Lana Grossa , etc.
My desire: to meet men and women who are looking for beauty, naturalness and quality.

A family story

It was my grandmother, a skilled knitter and crocheter, who passed on the virus to me when I was only ten years old. Since then, this hobby has never left me. Les Pelotes de Pénélope is above all a beautiful family story, woven with passion and transmission.
