"I've chosen Ricorumi's Fresh Friends to start learning crochet; the patterns are cute and colourful and the yarn is great the crochet with"

-Nicke

"I'm making a snuggly jumper with Wool and the Gang's Alpachino Merino Chunky Yarn collection. It's soft, it's chunky,it's quick to knit, and it's definitely worth the price."

-Nicky

"I find Clover's Long Hot Hemmer really useful for making hems. It saves you having to measure anything and makes hemming really quick."

-Gaye

"I like King Cole's Footsie Sock Yarn collection because it's a lightweight yarn that makes good socks and is lovely to knit with."

-Sheena

"I love having a good reference book like 'How to Embroider' for my freehand embroidery projects so I can choose the right stitch and use the diagrams to see how to make them."

-Cerin

"A choice of buttons is the key to attractively finishing off any garment. We don't sell our buttons online yet but come in-store to see our amazing range"

What Our Customers Say...

Thought I would pop in and have a look - Wow!! I forgot what an Aladdins Cave of goodies you have :D staff lovely and friendly. Was given a loyalty card which I will use next time I'm in.

Julie Miller

Very quick service from ordering to delivery. Vacuum packed wool! What a fab idea for cheaper postage. Would definitely recommend. Thank you.

Zoë Richardson

Excellent staff. Great amount of knowledge. Will try to help and if they can't they'll do their best to find an answer.

Jocelyn Flower

Welll worth a visit, very friendly. They take time to serve you with anything they have in the shop. If you see a pattern they get the wool for you... I give you 8 stars! So much to see in your shop.

Heather McKenny

What appears to be a very small shop from the outside is surprisingly bigger on entry. Once inside I was greeted by a polite and friendly couple behind the counter. The item I required was easy to find among a wide range of haberdashery and crafting items. I would highly recommend a visit to any serious crafter.

Having been let down by another shop, I found Material Needs. They were amazing and had my order delivered in less than 24 hours.
