Wool ‘N Wares is moving. “After 27 wonderful years (and lots of memories) in the same space we have decided its time to move to a larger space,” the store writes. “Luckily, we aren’t moving far . . . just downstairs to the former quilt shop space. We are so thrilled to be doubling the square footage as well as having more accessible parking for our customers. We will also gain an outdoor space so we can enjoy knitting, crocheting and spinning al fresco when the weather cooperates.” The store will be shut Monday, Nov. 24, through Monday, Dec. 1, for the move, reopening Tuesday, Dec. 2. The old address is 21540 Willamette Drive, West Linn; the new address is 21580 Willamette Falls Drive.
