Customer Testimonials

Thank you for your amazingly efficient service! Ordered 31st August, received 2nd September. Top quality as always - no excuse to delay projects now. Thanks

Claire

Friendly staff each time I've visited and offered to help me with knitting my first project since my mum died I have not been able to finish a project... Will be a regular I'm sure

Jakki

Haven't visited the shop as it's not local to me but ordered some linen yesterday and it arrived today, packaged beautifully. The young lady on the phone was really helpful and the whole experience was very pleasant. Thank you

Karen

Got a sewing machine last September and the staff in here helped me with ideas for Christmas presents I could make. Really pleased that they had clothes patterns too so I could have a go at making a top. I will be back soon! Thanks!
