Fat Quarters |
If you haven’t yet ventured down Walmgate in York (just past Melton’s
Too) to the Aladdin’s cave that is Grace & Jacob then I suggest you get
down there right now! It is a treasure
trove of fabric, fibre, yarn and haberdashery.
There’s a really great choice of fabrics including Moda, Rowan, Hantex
& Free Spirit and you don’t just have to buy it off the roll – there are
fat quarters too. But if you’re looking
for something really cute - pick up some Moda Candy. These are packs of 42 x 2½ inch squares of
lovely patterned fabric for you to make something wonderful with.

Luscious Yarns |
If you’re a felt maker or spinner there are merino, Shetland, Blue
Faced Leicester & Icelandic tops, silk blend mixes and silk tops too
including hand-dyed. Yarns include a
fabulously extensive range of Lang, Erika Knight, Aslan Trends and Grace &
Jacob’ s hand-dyed yarns too (a specialty!).
And as if that wasn’t enough there are VV Rouleaux & East of India
ribbons, patterned bias binding, embroidery threads, machine threads, patterns,
kits, needles and so much more.
