Thought this might be an interesting referance guide, Hecate, if I ask you nicely would you make it "sticky"???

My reccomendations are:

Hobbycraft - Meadowhall Retail Park

Pasttimes - Woodseats Road

Wye Needlecraft - Bakewell

Good idea :) .

Ah thanks hun

I'll start having a look around for internet craft shops too, so we can have a list of those as well as local ones.

www.brumbydesigns.com

Heres one for starters, just deal in cross stitch, I have done thier design of "Rhodes Sunset" and it was charted very clearly and easy to follow

www.craftcreations.com
www.artsandcraftsdirect.co.uk
www.mspronline.co.uk - based in sheffield
www.card-ology.com
www.papertole.co.uk
www.createandcraft.com

and many more - will raid my favourites on msn and let you know

Glad you seem to be doing ok on your new(Ish) Knitting Group.

I thought of you lot yesterday while we were in Edwinstow.
What used to be one of my favourite shops for Incense, candles and fine crafts, is now just a knitting and sewing shop and it has alsorts of things in it.

Just thought I would let you know.:thumbsup:

I've just Googled Edwinstow and came up with these (http://www.edwinstowe.co.uk/pages/index.htm). Is the shop you mentioned one of those? I think a visit might be in order.

EDIT: Bugger. It looks like that webpage has frames so the link only goes to the front page. The page with the craft shop listing can be reached by clicking on 'arts and crafts'.

Just like to add a bit about the aforementioned Wye Needlecraft.

Several weeks ago (Probably months by now!) I ordered a chart as they hadn't got it in stock, I was assured delivery would be within 28 days and was quite happy with that. More than that time went by and no chart so I rang them up and quiried it, they said there was a problem with the supplier and that it should be with me in around two weeks, 2 days later it turned up, funny how a phone call got their bums into gear!

On the subject of internet craft shops, www.webofwool.co.uk is quite a good one!

Becky

Thanks Becky B. Web of Wool is a good online shop. I added it to the shops section in the 'recommended knitting links' thread a little while ago, if I remember correctly. I'll go and check :) .

EDIT: Yes, it's there.

Whichcraft (http://www.whichcraft.info/) is a fab shop - it used to be in Broomhill but has moved to John Street, just off London Road near CCC Outdoors. Really helpful staff as well.

I like the stall on The Moor too - has loads of sewing bits, but also paper/card and beads and stuff.

I didn't think Whichcraft stocked wool, they never used to. Great for everything else though!

Think you are right, don't think they do. I know this is in the knitting group, but the thread title was about craft shops so I thought it was relevant anyway!

Yes, this thread is for recommendations of craft shops in general. Recommendations for yarn shops are very welcome too, of course, and will be added to the shops section of the 'recommended links thread'.

I'll add a section for craft shops there too.

Jencel on the Eccleshall Road is a specialist bead place. They're also really helpful.

Pasttimes - Woodseats Road

Pastimes is on Chesterfield Road, almost opposite Kentucky Fried.

Unit 1, also on Chesterfield Rd, opp Carphone Warehouse, sells scrapbooking and cardmaking kits, stamps, stamp pads, scrapbooks, thin card and other odds and ends useful for cardmaking.

Moved to Crafts Group

I've made this a sticky seeing as most craft people will ask about shops at one time or another!

Has anyone been into the ones in Hillsborough? There is one in the shopping centre itself and one opposite the park.

Wingham wool works (http://www.winghamwoolwork.co.uk/)

They supply people all over the country and are quite well known so we are lucky that we live in their locality (sorry Hecate, they do deliver though).

Wingham Wool Work is fab. They do a stunning range of fibre, and offer subscriptions to several fibre arts magazines at very reasonable prices).

Beansforyou was kind enough to pick up a load of stuff for me on her last visit, but I do need to pay a visit myself.

Well, it's in such a lovely little village that you could make a day of it. Nice pubs and garden centre, other little shops. Very quaint. Nice to go near Christmas.

I'd heartily recommend Dunelm for fabric and needlework supplies. They're not so much a craft shop, more of a home-furnishing shop. However, their range of fabrics is massive - I picked up some very cheap calico and evenweave fabric last week, as well as some curtain lining and upholstery material that are destined to become another knitting needle case. They also do haberdashery stuff: scissors, needles, interfacing and the like.

I'm not sure if there is one in Sheffield, but if not there can't be one too far away.

There is one in Hillsborough opposite wilkinsons just been done out too I believe :thumbsup:

one on halifax road. just above where the bingo is on the shops.
I know its quiet new too.
I love to go on ebay for lots of my crafts stock as I get it so cheap. good offers always. I paid £12.50 for 80 peel off sheets.
also I got 500 a4 card in pastel colours. they worked out cheap too.
worth a look most the time. oh I have just got the new create and craft trim it cutting machine. fantastic. dunno how i lived without it before.
I even got that cheaper as I'm a member too. lol.
bargain queen me.

Could you explain more about where there is one on halifax road please?? Don't know where the bingo is lol.

just where wadsley bridge is theres some shops below is it white horse pub. its on the corner of the shops there. i know someone who knows the owner but have not been in myself. i dont know price wise or owt.

Most of us will want to know when and where these are, so if you know of any, please post them here! Maybe we could all meet up at one some day :thumbsup:

Craft Fair (http://www.craft-fair.co.uk/) is an excellent resource with a very useful diary section (http://www.craft-fair.co.uk/Diary.cfm) for all (or at least most) of the craft fairs nation-wide.

I love Wimble Bees. That was one of the very first needlework shops I ever ordered from back in the very early 90s.

I'd also recommend Texere Yarns (http://www.texere.co.uk/index.html). Their thread variety bags (http://www.texere.co.uk/shades.php?reference=45) are excellent value (Mine arrived yesterday, plus a bag of the undyed ones (http://www.texere.co.uk/yarns.php?category=15&subcategory=1) so I can experiment with dyeing my own).

Their paper catalogue is excellent too. It comes complete with over a dozen sample cards of the different fibres they do.

The Mill Shop (http://www.texere.co.uk/Pages/ContactDetails.htm) in Bradford is open Mon-Fri 9-5.

I hadn't heard of wimble bees but it looks great, seen a few things I want already :)

I agree with Hayley1 who mentioned sewandso.co.uk I've used them a few times and its a brilliant service. Often cheaper than Hobbycraft and a good selection of products.

I recommend Bee Inspired (http://www.beeinspired.co.uk/index.php). I visited the shop this morning and found it to be a little Aladdin's cave of creative goodness. The staff were very friendly, helpful, and clearly knew their way around embroidery, knitting and the like. It's particularly strong on the creative embroidery side; for example, they sell a good range of Texere variety bags and Oliver Twists threads.

As the shop is in Kettering, it's probably a little too far away for most to visit in person. However, they seem to be adding to their web site regularly.

Parchment craft tends to be a bit specialised so I use www.centagraph.co.uk a lot. They do a mail order service and seem to stock all manner of things from beads to punches etc

A few more recommendations:

Art Supplies:
Discount Art (http://www.discountart.co.uk/)
Art Discount (http://www.artdiscount.co.uk/index.html)

Goldwork Supplies:
Janice Williams (http://www.ajs-it.co.uk/goldwork/supplies.htm) at the Goldwork Guild.
- You have to send off for a catalogue, but it's comprehensive and it's easy to find items which are difficult to find elsewhere.

And a couple more:

Art Van Go (http://www.artvango.co.uk/index.html) is the shop for anything textiles-related.

Rainbow Silks (http://www.rainbowsilks.co.uk/) also has an excellent range.

Whichcraft is wonderful, I always come out with more than I went in with!

Also, on the weekend I bought some stunning beads from John Lewis, ground floor on the right of the shop.

Here's hoping I might finally strike lucky...
Does anyone know of anywhere I might be able to get small pieces of fleece? I have a toy book with patterns that call for something like 12 inch squares (very small quantities) and I can only find stuff sold by the metre.
Of course, I could just start a production line and make LOTS of them!!:hihi:

I haven't checked recently, but John Lewis always used to cut lengths from a roll of a fabric down to 15 or 20 cm. I can't recall offhand which it was now.

Have you tried Dunelm Mills? They have an excellent selection of fabrics and you might get lucky and find something suitable in their 'seconds' section. I bought some cotton fabric there the other week which was supposedly a second, and I couldn't find a thing wrong with it.

They have a really good list, thx :)

I'm new to all this, here are my favourite shops in Sheffield for Card making stuff

Ideal Envelopes at Handsworth (trading estate above Asda) they sell cards/card and paper plus a few other bits other than envelopes.

B craft E Sandstone Road - small but well stocked and very helpful


For peel offs I don't think you can beat http://www.imag-e-nation.com/

I was quite surprised today. I went to Sainsbury's on Archer Road and they had a scrapbooking/craft section. It was very very small but it was there all the same. Might be a good place to go if you're just starting out

Morrisons have started stocking small amounts of card making etc stuff, small embellishments, cards that sort of thing.

Some excellent recomedations on here, will have to take a look at some of these. I feel a spend comming on.

There is a christmas fair this Saturday (2nd) with craft stalls there, at the Burton Street Project

See this link for details

http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=161100

Are there any scrapbooking specialist shops in the Sheffield area please?

Hobby craft have a good range of scrapbooking stuff :thumbsup: Meadowhall retail park

A new craft shop which is in it's infancy is at the Scout Supplies Shop on Trippet Lane. I know it sounds strange but it's going to be really good. It is open now although there is only a small area on the ground floor of the shop but the main area is downstairs. The staff are brilliant and if you ask they will direct you as, at the moment, it isn't signed. It does need lots of support to get 'off the ground' successfully. Vicky is the lady who is running it and will always be pleased to meet you.

Anne

do you mean it is in the scout shop?

Yes it is. I know it sounds strange as when you go in you think you're in the wrong place, being surrounded by Scout & Guide stuff. When you go in the shop look to the wall at the left and you will see a small amount of craft bits and pieces but just ask and you'll be directed to the downstairs craft department. It will shortly be better signed and better publicised. At the moment there are some good bargains to be had.

Atkinsons on the moor have a good selection card making and knitting dept, also try Craftastic at Dixon rd opposite Hillsborough park and is on a good bus route and tram.

A brilliant craft shop to visit is B-Craft-E on Sandstone Road. It's at the back side of Meadowhall. Sandstone Road is off the the left half way up Jenkin Road. I discovered this shop last November and has a wide range of everything and also runs regular craft classes. Not a shop to visit if you're in a hurry as there's so much to see.

The next Hobbycraft Show is at the NEC Birmingham 29th March - 1st April

There is a paper crafts show at Concord this Sunday this Sunday

See p7 of tonight's Star, this is usually held at Don Valley is usually very good.
Admission £4 adults £3 concessions.

There will be 30 trade stands and free workshops throughout the day.

Enjoy !

hi we are a couple of working mums who have just started our own craft website.
we also have an ebay shop and were just looking for a bit of feedback about the site e.g what stuff we should be stocking what you think of the prices etc.

We would really appreciate some feedback.

Hello.

I can strongly recommend Artscene on Chesterfield Road just opposite Arnold Lavers.
She has a lot of stuff in the window and its possible to drive/walk past without thinking she is actually open.
It is a real Alladins Den inside, but if there is anyone in sheffield that can help with Art or Craft related problems it is this lady.
She has forgotten more about art materials than most of us have ever know.

Give it a try.....she is possibly the last independant Arts & Craft supplier left in the area and has been helping people for nearly 2 decades.

So dont forget Artscene...Chesterfield Road...Sheffield.

Help keep these small independants alive.

You have a lovely selection of papers :thumbsup:

Try looking in the craftmarket shops. type craftmarkets into google to find site, in the forum is a list of all shops.

The craftmarkets web addy is http://www.craftmarkets.co.uk

There seems to be an abundance of craft shops in the area. I am quite sure that they are all very good for the normal everyday items.
But if you also require the shopkeeper to have enough knowledge of your regular craft or any new ideas you may be entertaining, then the lady at Artscene...Chesterfield Road is you best bet.
She has personally been in the business of selling Art & Craft supplies in Sheffield for over 2 decades.
She knows here stuff and if she doesnt have what you are looking for she has enough contacts in the industry to get hold of just about anything.
All that experience/customer service and unlike other new retailers when she keeps to here word and pulls out all the stops to get you what you want.
These smaller independant retailers are being distroyed by the likes of Hobbycraft etc....keep you business local and help those that have been serving Sheffield for decades.:thumbsup:

Poundland (in Meadowhell, don't know about the one in town) is well worth a visit! They do packs of assorted embellishments, do it yourself card packs, felt, those double sided sticky things, little cross stitch kits, etc, etc.

What they have in stock varies from week to week, but there are some great bargains to be had.

I don't actually know what you mean by "helping hands", but have you tried E-bay? They have a huge craft section and you can generally find most things on it.

thanks, for that tip., found a few. essentially they're clips which can be used to hold an item in a fixed position while working on it either for silver/metal work or botanical illustrations etc. Some of them also come with a magnifying glass

There is a craft show this Sunday (6th May 2007) at the Mechanics Institute, Main St. Wentworth. Near the Rockingham Arms Pub

It is held the first Sunday of every month.

Hi,
I just found this thread and wanted to let you know about ourselves. We are a Sheffield based home business which creates cross stitch designs of transport (mainly cars and bikes at the moment but we are expanding our range).


Our website is http://www.stitchtastic.com/

We will be exhibiting at the Doncaster show 16th - 18th Nov, so please come along if you want to take a look at our designs. More info is at http://www.stitchtastic.com/OnTour.aspx

will look you up I might be exhibiting there myself.Have you done this show before

will look you up I might be exhibiting there myself.Have you done this show before

This is our first year of exhibiting, so are still quite new to it all.

The Doncaater Show is in its first year, so I am hoping it will be a success. I have seen loads of advertising in craft magazines etc for it so I am expecting it to be busy.

www.etsy.com is good for handcrafted items..some lovely stuff on there

I can spend hours (and a fortune!) in the cake and sugarcraft shop in Castle Market... you take your life into your own hands to get there- but its well worth it!!

Where abouts in the market is it?

In the gallery :)

I did an internet order with Beads Unlimited (http://www.beadsunlimited.co.uk/) at the w/e for a family friend. I know nothing about beads and just added a load to my basket without really checking the options (my fault).

They just phoned up and explained they could save me a good 1/5 off my order price by giving me the cilps and other bits in bulk because of the quantity I'd ordered.

How's that for service? Phoning me up to tell me they've saved me money and I've still got exactly what I ordered (but not in ickle plastic bags) :D :thumbsup:

Just Recieved My First Order From Fred Aldous Next Day Delivery

I like how Hobbycraft at Meadowhall has so much all in one place - very handy, but I do think that it's quite expensive - I buy quite alot of haberdashery and knitting stuff and can usually find that for less elsewhere - atkinsons on the moor, and fine fabrics in hillsburgh

I'll start having a look around for internet craft shops too, so we can have a list of those as well as local ones.
Hi Ideal world create and craft shop on internet is a good site if you keep a look out they sometimes have free postage and packaging,also dont know if relevant but theres an asian shop next to banners selling all their fabric off quite a lot at one pound a metre

Does anyone know if the Fabric Warehouse on Shalesmoor is open again yet? I've driven past a couple of times, but usually in the evening, so I can't tell if it's meant to be open or not!

Ta :)

Blyth Craft studio, just outside Worksop is great for paper crafts, the staff are really friendly and helpful and they do craft workshops every other month or so and get guest crafters in!

The Red Hart pub next door is worth a visit for lunch too!

I don't think so, because I tried to go one Saturday afternoon, and it was closed, but that was a couple of weeks back. It's a shame, cause it's a good shop

Sorry to inform everyone but past times in Woodseats has now closed down such a shame. But I'm always interested in finding new craft shops for card making.
My favourite place is craft-tastic at Hillsborough and Elaine and Dorothy who are always in the shop are always welcoming and helpful.

Does anyone know of an alternative to Farbric Warehouse for upholstery fabric? (I'm looking for a thick, sturdy black fabric that would probably come under upholstery rather than dressmaking. I've already tried Fine Fabrics and John Lewis.

Hi Theres a stall downstairs inthe castle market that sells all sorts of fabric he may have some

Whichcraft (http://www.whichcraft.info/) is a fab shop - it used to be in Broomhill but has moved to John Street, just off London Road near CCC Outdoors. Really helpful staff as well.

I like the stall on The Moor too - has loads of sewing bits, but also paper/card and beads and stuff.


Im interested in beads, can you tell me what days the stall on the moor is there pls:)

I use a great craft shop. A large amount of craft supplies and a lovely craft teacher who has different craft classes throughout the week. The shop is Craft Den Lynne Hunter 23 Loxley Road Sheffield S6 4TE ...[Pay her a visit, it's well worth it. Hope this is useful.

Hello guys! I would like to suggest an online shop which sells different paper and craft materials. It also offers some cardmaking (http://papermilldirect.co.uk/card-making) kits which is perfect for starters. Hope it will help! :)

Lots of these posts are quite dated- those anyone know of cheap craft shops to buy stamps/textured paper? I don't like buying over the internet

I would recommend Craft Den on Loxley Road, great stocks of everything from altered art to card making and scrapbooking and Lynne knows all sorts of techniques. She runs regular classes and workshops. Craftden.co.uk. Check out Lynne's blog to see what we all get up to!

www.CraftyCo.com are quite a decent online Card Making Supplies (http://www.craftyco.com) store.

Cross stitch and craft heaven on ebay

I sell cross stitch kits cardmaking sizzix cuttlebug quickutz all well below RRP in shops

If you buy off me and are local in sheffield you are welcome to collect from my home

Thanks Hazel

I agree with Hayley1 who mentioned sewandso.co.uk I've used them a few times and its a brilliant service. Often cheaper than Hobbycraft and a good selection of products.

I agree re Sewandso.co.uk - have used them for years - service is excellent and so are the prices.

Anybody interested in machine embroidery? Can thoroughly recommend Lords SewKnit at Oswaldtwistle Mills in Lancs. About 1.1/2 hours up the motorway but they do mail order on the net. Stock Brother sewing machines and all the threads & stabilisers needed for machine embroidery. Service is excellent, as are the staff. Stockists of Anita Goodesign embroidery CDs.

Both Craftastic in Hillsborough, and Craft Warehouse behind MeadowFarm in Ecclesfield do a pick n mix selection on paper and card, and both are reasonable prices.

Sooooo glad you mentioned Craft Warehouse. I've passed it loads of times and always thought it was for wholesale only. Husband won't be pleased I can tell you :hihi: - will have to pay them a visit.

Thanks again

Hi Aranlady don't you mean it is going to cost us both lol, I only thought it was wholesale only to cus it is in middle of an industrial estate, but we will have to see wot they have got xxx

I would highly recommend The Craft Box @ Elsecar Heritage Centre, Barnsley.
I went there today for the first time and I was impressed with the range of items the shop had aswell as the friendliness of the staff.
For a couple of years I have been debating wether I should buy a Sizzix Machine.
When I went to The Craft Box they had a Sizzix Big Shot Machine on offer from £79.99 to £64.99!
The woman who was working there came over and offered me a quick lesson on the basics of using the machine
If I was going to buy one, I agreed and was glad I did. She was extremely friendly and knew what she was talking about.
I also bought an embossing folder, guillotine, dye cutter, scissors, embellishments and some storage boxes aswell as the sizzix machine.
They also stock a wide range of other items including cards, envelopes, stamps, inks, embellisments, papers, decoupage sets etc etc
I will definately be going back soon in the future. :)

I would also recommend:
Hobbycraft @ Meadowhall
Busy Bees Crafts @ Woodhouse

Where in Handsworth?

Hiya, I have just found a fab craft shop called the Craft Den Studio. Its owned by a lovely lady called Lynne who does workshops and craft classes as well as selling all craft items you would ever need. The shop address is 23 Loxley Road, Malin Bridge, Sheffield S6 4TE. Tel: 0114 2340732. Her website is all the w's.craftden.co.uk:)

Hi,
sorry blaze just seen your message.
The shop is down from the asda, on the row of shops near the bowling alley. they have started doing craft sessions, the lady who teaches you works for craft company and is in the magazines. I attended a stamping session a few weeks ago which was excellent, and right on my door step!!
i thought i would put a list up of the sessions they have coming up for anyone else who may be interested

Saturday 13th -10-12pm - children’s stamping
Thursday 18th - 10 - 12pm - embossing
Saturday 20th - 10 - 12pm - punches
Wednesday 24th - 6-8pm - stamping
Wednesday 1st Dec - 6-8pm - Heat embossing

Saturday 11th 10-12pm and possibly 2-4pm if they get lots of people booked on. this class is £10 but you get a goody bag to take home,

I had to book onto the class, because they are have a limit on spaces.

0114 3279538

The conversations that has been done in there is very much effective and I feel that it should be verified once and twice , whenever needed.

I know it's already been mentioned, but I really like Craftastic in Hilsborough. I have been to some of their card making and Fimo classes, which were excellent, and you always get a friendly welcome when you visit the shop.

Bobbins at stocksbridge in The Palace Mall, they have fabrics wool & sewing accessories, they also do alterations & custom made items eg christmas stockings

Some really nice craft shops in Sheffield - we are lucky!

any one know where I can get a rag rug making kit
thanks

Thanks again

Can you/someone please tell me where Craft Warehouse is exactly? I've passed & been to Meadow Farm on many occasions and never seen it. :confused:
Many thanks

Sheffield Reviews can recommend Bee Happy Crafts. You can see their business listing and contact them here: sheffieldreviews.co.uk/component/content/article/38-shopping/94-bee-happy-crafts

add giannafairtrade.com on your list! :)

Where would be the cheapest place to get buttons? Does anyone know anywhere that does wholesale prices? I used to get bundles of random collections from a guy in Castle Markets but he's gone now...

I would say look on Ebay for bulk buying of buttons. I've picked up some real bargins on there!

I know it's not a Sheffield one, but there's a great one in Chesterfield, just next to the library down some steps - and I don't know what it's called........ I'm not much help am I ?!

Hi there.I' m a quilter and have joined the forum hoping to meet other quilters who are members of groups.

If it is craft shops in sheffield there is a really good one in Hillsborough, I cannot remember what it is called though!!!! but it has everything for card and scrap book making and it also holds crafting lessons.

the shop in hillsborough is great the other one has now closed,as shes moved elsewhere,but as for online i use rainbow crafts,very good price wise,and free delivery over 20 quid i think,and very prompt and packed well,mainly card stuff but they do do other bits as well x

I love fabrics, and am always on the lookout for reasonable priced places to pick up odds and ends for patchwork etc. Years ago a friend introduced me to Tiviot Prints Factory shop in Broadbottom, Hyde.. it's a long drive but fantastic bargains are to be had. Anyone know of anywhere else similar?

There is Craftastic in Hillsborough. Lovely ladies run this shop and they also run a loyalty scheme. The cater mostly for papercrafts but also sell knitting yarn etc.
Loyalty cards are also run by Busy Bees Crafts in Woodhouse, and Unicorn Crafts in Handsworth. There deal mostly with papercrafts.

Have you tried Direct Knitting and Sewing near Don Valley stadium? They sell fantastic range of fabrics and their patchwork samples have to be seen to be believed.

It's Craftastic and they have moved down the road into the main shopping area in Hillsborough.

What a shame, this shop is having a closing down sale:(. I was there on Saturday 24th September. Such a pity to see them go under.

A quick post in support of the online bead supplier The Bead Merchant (http://www.beadmerchant.co.uk/).

I've been using them for years, and I'm very pleased to report that their customer service is as excellent as ever: an order I placed late on Monday night was on my doormat today. Just want you want from an online supplier, especially at this time of year.

Where the craft shop was based is a little area with that had 3 craft type shops. This was a great craft shop and it has changed what it sells. They still do picture framing though.
Next door to it there is a card & cake craft shop. They sell a little cardmaking stuff and have a sale on at the moment. They have loads of interesting things for making & decorating cakes.
Next door to that there is a great bead & jewellery making shop. They've got masses of beads and all the necessary bits & bobs to make things. They run classes and the staff are very helpful and seem to know what they are doing.

Where would be a good place to buy individual buttons? I have a really nice cardigan but the buttons are super naff so I wouldn't mind replacing them with some nicer ones :)
