Adelaide Arcade welcomes Paper Scissors Wool, a vibrant new creative space in Shop 7, Ground Floor, bringing fresh energy and a love of handmade craft to the historic Arcade.

Founded by Karen Peterson, Paper Scissors Wool has evolved from a much-loved online store into a colourful, cosy bricks-and-mortar destination for stationery lovers, knitters, journalers and creative minds alike. Karen is passionate about creating a space that feels warm, welcoming and accessible — challenging the idea that craft spaces are intimidating, and instead encouraging curiosity at every level.

Inside, you’ll find a thoughtfully curated collection of quality craft supplies, paper goods, knitting essentials and giftware — perfect for seasoned makers or those just beginning their creative journey.

More than a retail store, Paper Scissors Wool will also host workshops for crafters, journalers, and knitters, building a community centred on slowing down, learning new skills, and rediscovering the joy of making something by hand.

As part of the Renew Adelaide program, Paper Scissors Wool reflects Adelaide Arcade’s growing reputation as a creative hub — a place where independent ideas flourish, and visitors are encouraged to linger, explore and connect.

Visit Karen at Shop 7, Adelaide Arcade and discover your next creative project.
