If you want yarn, it's fine if you like acrylic, but useless if you actually want wool - the terms aren't interchangeable! It has a good line in standard cheap equipment - Pony needles, stitch holders, etc - but not much at the more interesting end of the market. If you are a traditional knitter who wants to churn out baby blankets and bootees, great - if you are into more contemporary items, you're better off looking elsewhere, I'm afraid. They also stock an interesting line of baby clothes and notions, which are worth a look if you want something traditional or not the standard Mothercare style.

My friend's really into knitting and craftwork and she swears by Brambles. It's not as cheap as…read moreonline, but at least you know what the colours will actually look like. In case you're not familiar with it, Brambles stocks wool, haberdashery and fabric. Apparently quite a lot of people make children's clothes using materials there. It's a shame it's so far out from the centre, but I guess it's not a huge mainstream interest. It's the sort of thing department stores want to be, but so much friendlier and more homely.

They also stock beads, strings & paper. The staff is knowledgeable & helpful (I was given the low down on the quality of the watercolor pigments I wanted to buy). It was also bristling with brushes. The prices here range from expensive to cheap. The next time I go there, I plan to but a lino slab to carve up for a press. The only drawback in here is the low lighting but I can get behind that.

I've always greatly appreciated the customer service and selection here, top notch, and I love finding new and interesting craft items. They have an extensive selection of everything for the brooding painter to the impoverished architecture student (yay student discount) and everyone in between. The only thing they are missing a significant selection of are fabric supplies, however this can be forgiven. Before checking anywhere else, always try the Broad Canvas.

Despite the small size of the shop, they cram in an awful lot of goodies- it is like an Alladin's cave, and so you need to allow yourself time to explore it thoroughly! They stock a wide selection of paints and other artists materials upstairs, and then the small staircase leads downstairs to the craft section. They sell some lovely toppers and are great inspiration for card-making and scrapbooking. The prices are quite expensive, but then sadly most craft shops are. A lovely shop and well worth a look for avid crafters as well as beginners.

The staff are very helpful and are happy to put time in with you talking about what you will be doing and what the most appropriate products for you are. The prices vary, some things are cheaper than usual, and other things more pricey, but overall I usually find I get a good deal. As far as paints are concerned, they stock most ranges in their entirety, so you will probably find what you are looking for. The range of papers they have is wonderful, ranging from plain colours to rainbow and some lovely hand made papers too. They also have a large artists section, stocking all sizes of canvas, paintbrushes, various types and colours of paints.
