An amazing shop, like Aladdin's cave! They stock a massive range of fabrics, in almost any pattern…read moreyou could think of, including those for seasonal projects, uphostery, dress-making and child-themed fabrics. The prices seem ok to me not as cheap as I've seen (but then the quality is good) but in line with most other fabric stores I've visited and cheaper than some! I visited yesterday as every January they run a sale with 20% off, which makes the prices much more competitive. The staff at Hansons are knowledgable, friendly and helpful and don't treat you like an idiot (even when you feel like one, for asking 'silly' questions!) I bought my sewing machine from Hansons a couple of years ago and the lady in the sewing machine department was so helpful, showing me the different functions of the machines and really tailoring her suggestions to what she felt my need and experience was. I have since returned on a couple of occasions for fabric and sundries and I'm sure if it was closer to where I live, I'd be there all the time! My only criticism, which isn't even that really, is that they pack so much in there that one often has to tuck in for passing customers as the walkways are very narrow, often shoving rolls of fabric back in whilst they pass!

This place is a goldmine to people like me, full of crafty bits and bobs and more fabric than you…read morecan dream about :P I love just wandering around in here! I make cards, and i often buy different styles of material as a backing. I also love the fact that Fabric Land has a huge range of different coloured felts, perfect! I plan on buying a sewing machine shortly too, and shall be making great use of the threads and fabrics here to start making my own clothing :)

I love this little shop and could spend hours in here exploring all the different materials and…read moreembellishments they sell. They have a huge range of fabrics on display for you to make just about anything you want! They also sell ribbons by the dozen, velcro, patches, buttons, zips, sequins and cottons (and probably loads more I've forgotten!). The shop is on 2 floors, but staff are so helpful that they will fetch anything for you if you are unable to get upstairs. All materials are sold by the metre so you can buy as much or as little as you want, and prices are very reasonable.

Lovely fabrics and lots of perfect christmas presents, I'll definitely be visiting again soon!read more

This a new shop on Poole High St, with rather a nifty name…read more They stock a great selection of colours of wool, but no so sure of the range of types of wool. They are helpful, if reserved. I've stopped knitting, my SO is too broad to feel ins[ired to knit a sweater for, and others just keep growing! However, I do like a high St with some sort of haberdashery.

Nice little wool shop. Though small, shelves and baskets packed full of lovely colourful Yarns…read moreGreat to feel and touch Yarn before deciding what it will look like knit up in a garment.
