A nice little wool and needlecraft shop on Turnham Green Terrace, adding to the eclectic mix of…read morebusinesses in the area. It is primarily dedicated to knitters, there are shelves on top of shelves with many types of wool; Angora wool, Cashmere wool, Merino wool and Mohair wool. To a lay person this all sounds dull, but for any knitter or textile enthusiast these are all very relevant choices. However, I was a bit disappointed to see that some of the wool was not being protected properly in their respective plastic bags and seemed dusty, which in turn made the colours dull. Not surprising though, was to find the passion with which the sales woman (a lady of age) spoke about the art of knitting. An interesting anecdote; back in the day it was very common to see people knitting in buses the same way people listen to ipods. Wonder which one is more therapeutic?

I am glad that there is a knitting shop in my area. It is nice to be able to walk down there when…read moreI need something. However, this place is TINY. It is hard to browse because a lot of items are out of reach or without prices. If you know what you want though it is a great stop to just pop in and get what you need. They have been sold out of a needle I needed twice too so it does a fair amount of business. I have a next project in mind and found the yarn I will use here. It is at a very reasonable price as well. Granted I had to ask them to look up the price, but that's ok. The lady working there was busy, yet was very eager to help.

This small stationer is full of charm. Up front I will say it is not as cheap as Ryman which is…read morejust down the road, but Sara Stationer is a family owned business not part of a massive corporation. And in Yelping we must stand by these smaller business as much as possible. They have all your go back to school/ uni essentials and also a good selection of Art supplies. Not as much as your regular Art Supply store, but you will find 'Art Bins' at very reasonable prices depending on the size. If you are lucky you might deal with the owners daughter or the owner herself. They will go out of their way to make sure you get what you want. I was looking for a rapidograph ans she went to back and came back with more options than I had anticipated. Customer satisfaction guaranteed, something that cannot be said for the larger chains around.

I always try to steer away from any generic, chain-store form of ANYTHING. So Sara Stationers was a…read morewelcome change for me! It's family run, and, whilst smaller than the Ryman's down the road, still boasts a semi-decent range of all things paper, pen, or crayon related! I'm not convinced that the range is as good as some of it's chain-store counterparts, but at least go and check it out before you head to Corporation-Central!

Lovely family-run gem of a fabric shop. Good quality fabrics at decent prices, not to mention a…read morehuge range. The real star though is their Liberty fabrics, both from their most recent collections and past years (sold off at a marked down rate). Definitely one to check out if you like sewing.

I came here the other day looking for fabric for an outfit that my friend is going to make me and we got some great gold and silver fabric which was £3 a meter and some black and white cotton for which was only £1 a meter. I found some of the shop assistants in the other fabric shops nearby to be pretty pushy, (In one place the shop assistant hit on my friend) but here they just left us alone to roam around and get inspired.
