To say this store is overwhelming is an understatement. Len's Mill Store here in London is your one…read morestop shop, for fabrics, sewing, clothes, crafts and so much more all packed into one large warehouse. I came here on Saturday with my mom, who loves to sew, and she wanted to pick up some unique fabrics from here that you wouldn't be able to find anywhere else, unless you went to the States. The door to come into the place is deceiving, it's one door, and the entrance and exit are one in the same and immediately to the left are the shopping carts, and to the right are the cashiers. The aisle-ways are somewhat narrow for these shopping carts, but the fabric selection is HUGE. My mom was like a kid in a candy store. She had a mission for flannel to make something for a baby shower for some friends of ours. We also found some Doctor Who fabrics, which I never thought we could find in London, let alone Canada. The employees were fairly nice and helpful, could be a bit more enthusiastic, they didn't really look happy to be there. The aisles are kind of small to walk through and the entire place is full of items, not a regular tidy store you would usually walk into, but if you know what you want and what you're looking for, for a fairly good bargain, this would be the place!

Sometimes they have good deals on smaller items as you pass through the checkout area such as $1 for a tube of glow necklaces.

Awesome place! I did not realize it was so huge and had so much!!…read more Loads of yarns for the knitters; waaaay more in the way of fabrics for those of us who like to quilt or sew; and a large variety of household items - all at affordable and discounted prices. I will most certainly be back, once I finish these 4 projects I just picked up... Wowsers! Note: I am giving Len's a 4 out of 5 stars only because they don't offer upscale yarns (such as alpaca or qiviut), and because it is a warehouse. Mind you, when I expressed my pleasant surprise at what I found there to one of the clerks, she indicated that this was only a small portion of the yarns they do offer. If I ever go back and see the natural fibers I so love to knit with (over and above the sheep's wool, that is), I will most certainly post an update here. Thoroughly enjoyed my visit and I am eagerly and anxiously knitting away and current projects in order to get to the yarns I bought over the weekend. Happy Knitting, everyone!! Updated August 27 2012 to add that Len's Mill Stores has opened a new location in Toronto on Orfus Road! Yay!! That much closer to home (Ottawa)... Keep 'em comin'! :-)

Super helpful owner, and friendly. I witnessed her helping a few customers with their patterns and yarn choices. Excellent yarn selection, a good mix of really dependable and affordable yarns (think Estelle) and some really yummy decadent yarns (think Rowan). Also an incredible selection of ChiaoGoo needles (other needles too, but I have been looking to add to my chiaogoo). I am delighted to find a well stocked, well curated store like this one and hope to pop in again when I visit the kid, or when I find myself in downtown Guelph.

Many people go to Len's Mill Store for the 'deals', but don't be mistaken, this is not a discount store regardless of its factory atmosphere. This store is actually pretty expensive. The fabrics are over priced, but on the flip side there is a huge selection. If you can find the same thing at Fabricland, I suggest you do as you will save a great deal. Fabric is not the only item over priced. I once went there to pick up a simple white onesie for my newborn. It's sale price was $12.00, from $19.99. Needless to say I did not buy it. Regardless of price issues, this place is pretty neat and I do go there a few times a year. They have some pretty cool things, but you might have to go a few times to see everything and dig a bit.

The business…read morestarted in 1954, and today there is a large mail order business, as well as the retail store in Paris, Ontario. My wife loves to knit, and we often come here for her yarn, as well as patterns. The staff here is knowledgeable and they have always been there to answer our questions. There are also supplies for other crafts such as beading and sewing. There is a bargain area at the back of the store where we go every visit to take a look for deals. Additonally, there is a tent sale in the summer where there are even more savings!

I found the staff to be older and not friendly at all. Miserable dispositions, except the lady at the cash seemed to be the only friendly one. I wondered around and I found the jigsaw puzzle section! Seems they are almost exclusive to Sunsout. Ok prices. Nothing special. However, it was odd to find KI Puzzles among all the Sunsout, but here's the thing that turned me off.. they sell KI Puzzles for $14.99? The exact same series that are across the street at Dollarama for $4.00! What? Normally KI'S regular pricing is under $10.00, but then they came out with a line for Dollarama for $4.00. Awesome! However, when I saw Mary Maxims selling a $4.00 puzzle for $14.99, I was done in that isle. They have a cool candy section too. Also overpriced. Off I went across the street to Dollarama. Bought 3 puzzles for $4.00 each! Would have been $45.00 plus tax at Mary Maxims. Disappointed in Mary's. They need to reevaluate puzzle prices and hire friendly staff.
