welovemarmite Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 OK, so I know John Lewis is not the best place to buy wool (especially after my 'discussion' with an assistant about dye lots the other day. But if you have some John Lewis vouchers and wanted to spend them on wool which is the best store to visit. I live near Milton Keynes, but Don't know whether there are better ones that I just might decide to pay a visit to!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 We have a nice shiny new JL in Leicester, but from what I recall of the MK store, the haberdashery department is not as big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 High Wycombe doesn't have wool there - so don't waste a trip for it. It only has the furnishing fabric and curtains. Not even threads or sewing things - although they have some sewing machines I think - but can't remember. Mainly stuff for the house. Reading is the nearest one with wool to us - actually that is the only one nearest us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willow Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Reading JL has a reasonable wool section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egzandra Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I went into J L at London Oxford Circus to look at the wool, particularly to find some crochet cotton. There was so little, I could not believe it. I have now ordered what I want from Purplelindacrafts on the internet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 They obviously aren't up to date with the crafty folk. Surprising as you'd think that was a big enough store up there. Never mind - where there's a will, there's a way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
