Anyway, I slouched in here expecting a pile of faux fur and badly frayed lycra, and was delighted to find the place stocked from floor to ceiling with virtually anything anyone could ever want. Including the very tweed I wanted, made of wool, for just over a fiver a metre! Needless to say, this has now become my home-from home. Want threads, buttons, findings, zips, upholstry fabric, dressmaking fabric, that weird plastic-y stuff they make tablecloths out of in bad cafs - you name it, they've got it. The staff are great too.

It's always pretty busy when I go but staff are always on hand to help. Will always come here for my crafting needs!

This place is an institution, having been there for about 45 odd years I think! I love this place,…read morethe sort of friendly personal service found with an independent store, and the linens, towels, bathrobes and teacloths etc are really good quality and great price. But the real scandal is what is happening to this store, very sadly, I hear, that the proprietor has been forced to move out soon by big developers and Council to make way for another bland café. Another case of the greedy landlords, bullying Developers and Council treating the independent retailer like this one with complete contempt, and also for its loyal and new customers who frequent and love this shop. This shop is a real institution. It's a total disgrace with what is happening to it!

I've just moved flat and I soon learned that my new flat was, how to say, 'well loved, then left to s**t' by the previous tenants. Which is just fine, because I like a good mindless DIY project or 12. So I went in for a few necessities like pliers. And a part for my Hoover. And a US to UK power converter. And super glue. And a phone to DSL splitter thingy. And duct tape. All of which I asked for in that exact language and all of which the helpful staff immediately found for me. Their store is chock full with helpful items that I'm sure all have wonderful purposes unbeknownst to my wildest imagination. They had exactly what I needed and the price was right, so that's all 5-star action for me. SDM must stand for super duper magic. Or at least it should.

And it always seems, even if you don't think it, that these projects appear. I came in looking for: scissors, shims (uneven floors, I'm rolling off the bed!), an exacto knife (apparently lacking all sharp objects when we moved), cleaning supplies and an extension cord/power strip. I was successful in finding all but the shims (surprising, isn't' every flat in London uneven?) -- but found some of those furniture felt pads that should do the trick. The man that helped me was quite nice. Very helpful in leading me around the store on the "shim" mission and showed me downstairs to the lumber area, where they will not cut...but will provide you the saw to cut for yourself. Fair enough. Decent shop for most of your small project needs, including an entire paint section when you feel so inspired!

My questions regarding my yarn choices have always been answered promptly, with the ability to have a virtual yarn selection appointment to help me out; with it always dispatched promptly. Milli has a keen appreciation for colour and design; and her expertise in yarn, patterns, fashion and the art of knitting, has in my opinion really made such a huge difference in the lives of thousands, through her guidance, advice, and by being the catalyst for developing our creative process. Milli is a shining light and is such a breath of fresh air with her boundless creativity and wicked sense of humour. Milli's generosity of Spirit extends to creating a wonderful knitting community through classes, KAL's, events; and I am so very grateful to have the opportunity to catch up with the gals on fortnightly Virtual knit nights (early mornings for me!). I highly recommend either online purchasing, or dropping by for a noodle around the most wonderful yarn store.

Not only did I not receive my items, I am out $300. I placed my order May 29, 2020. As of August 24, 2020 I've not received it. I got an email from the owner saying it was out of her hands. This was such a poor customer experience. I never had anything like this happen before, and certainly not with a yarn shop. I've ordered from several UK shops before and even during the same time. I understand covid is making things crazy at the moment and since my package was being shipped internationally, I was very patient. I was at least expecting a replacement offer, but didn't even get that unfortunately. I was not going to post but just wanted to warn those who may be ordering Stateside. Maybe pay extra for FedEx shipping or something.

They have such an extensive range of fabrics, cottons, synthetics, silks. I've come away with so many samples for clients in the past, because they have just so much choice. Rolls, and stands, and so so well organised. Upstairs they have trims, zips, all sorts, you can literally buy everything you need in a one stop shop sort of way, without being limited for options. They are also the sort of wonderful shop, that if they haven't got it (which is rare) they aren't scared to send you elsewhere, with knowledge and directions. Just lovely.

Usually i'd know where to go and be sorted suite easily, but since i moved from Paris to London i'm always lost when it comes to find good and affordable specialised shops. A quick look on Google and there i am, going to Macculloch & Wallis one day before said Halloween (wouldn't be fun it it weren't last minute). The shop seems quite small but only because it is full of fabric rolls from floor to ceiling. In the middle a staircase leads to the basement where you'll find the haberdashery. It is quite complete and i found everything i needed. Back to the street floor i ask the vendors for advice as i didn't want to lose time going threw everything myself. They were very helpful and sorted me in 10 minutes with every type of fabric i needed. They even took into account that i was making a Halloween costume and referred me affordable pieces of material that matched my desires. All in all, i had everything i needed 20 minutes after i walked in, and i REALLY appreciate efficiency. If you're looking for anything related to sewing and DIY clothing or accessories, this is the place and it is a very good place.
