Beautiful selections of wool, cotton, embroidery thread, and tools for needlework of all kinds. Staff are friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable about the products on sale as well as the crafts they supply for.There are always sample projects to show off what one can create, and the older staff are especially happy to engage in conversations about their experiences with needlework.

Thank you so much for all your help in helping me with colours etc, for the blankets for my granddaughters, even when my husband was tasked with getting wool for me. Your ladies went the extra mile for him. Thank you.

This is a little haberdashery with so much in it. I dont often go here but when I do, I usually find what Im looking for. The ladies are helpful and knowledgeable. This little shop can be quite busy at times. I find they are a bit pricier than other haberdasheries but they are conveniently situated on the Main Road. They have sanitising and temperature checks at the door.

Always good service and and as I care for a 95-year old at home, I truly appreciate the efforts they make to keep customers safe, even when the less observant customers moan when asked to wear masks properly and to distance. Its not easy for a store manager these days and many just give up. THANK YOU MAMAS.
