Janet's Knitting Yarns

Janet's Knitting Yarns

(1 review)

If you are a knitting/crocheting addict like me, and prepared to travel on the number 8 bus to the…read moreunknown Clifton, which is in Swinton, which is in Pendlebury, then read on. I've been going to Janet's lovely, cosy, small yarn shop since 2002. I came to England for the first time, I had neither coat nor sweater, it was raining cats and dogs for two weeks in a row, and I couldn't bring myself to buy a cardigan. I tried not to be too picky, but in 2002 cardigans looked awful. I wouldn't have such problem in 2010, but eight years ago Janet's shop came to my rescue. Within a week I made myself a sweater, and eight years later I'm still wearing it. The two lovely elderly ladies specialise in wool and acrylic yarns, although it is possible to find cottons and even mohair there. They always have a good selection of model magazines, and are dedicated knitters themselves. Just as I can spend a small fortune browsing DVDs at HMV or books in MAGMA bookstore, so can I easily leave Janet's shop with loads of yarn. And you know what? Last year I wanted to make a scarf for a special someone. They wanted it in black and pink. Without them telling me, I instantly knew what kind of pink they wanted. I went to Abakhan Fabrics but didn't find anything remotely similar. Then I went to Janet's and found exactly the colour I was after. If, like me, you are searching for something special and at affordable price, do take the bus #8 and go to "Windmill Hotel" stop in Clifton.

Quality Save is also known in some areas as Home Bargains, but it is exactly the same shop. It…read moresells a range of goods for the home, health and beauty bits, baby goods, lots of gifts and seasonal goods, toys, a few greeting cards and plenty of food and drink including alcohol. The prices are great, it is a lot cheaper than other high street shops yet it sells all the same brands. It is a great way of saving a bit of money as it is a lot cheaper than say Superdrug or Boots for health and beauty and some of it's tinned goods are cheaper than ASDA which is impressive. Wines are cheap too as are sweets and treats. It is a good shop.

Very large branch. Loads of cheap items. I always stock up on shampoo, spices and gift items. This…read morebranch always have lots of toys and children's items(very useful for Christmas presents) this shop is licenced and has quite a wide range of alcohol. There are often really good savings on food items. I often use this as a way of trying new brands as sometimes this chain seem to get new items prior to a national launch. I have had loads of tremendous bargains by doing this. At the moment Campbells soups is 35p for a small tin, at the same time the same product is on sale in the big supermarkets for 57p. No contest. They currently have quite a lot of artists materals at fantastic prices(including one of those wooden body figure things for £1.99 can't say how much I paid for one of these a couple of years ago!!) This is a great place to stock up on essentials AND get some lovely gifts at a very good price.
