They have over 200 types of ribbons, and beautiful buttons, and lots of craft tools. But the felt! Oh the felt! They have a great range of felt - both loose felt for needle felting and felt sheets, in lovely colours. I bought a lovely gift card too - they have a good range of beautiful designs. This is easily the best stocked craft shop I've been in - it's so much better than anywhere in Glasgow. I would actually come here from Glasgow in order to buy craft goods. It's that good.

My boyfriend, his sister and her husband and my parents were on our way to Oban for a day out when we stopped here. My boyfriend sister and I bond over stuff like this and all things Scottish, so it was great to stop at a shop that she loves! The owner was super friendly and knows my boyfriends sister as she's shopped here on a few occasions and was very chatty to us. There are loads of amazing things on offer in this wee shop. Loads of hand crafted pottery from cups and bowls to candle stick holders and tea pots. All with different stains and glazes, each thing a little different from the next. High quality pottery and gifts can be purchased here. My boyfriend and I are fans of wooden products, and we spotted some olive wood products for sale. We use bamboo whenever possible, but we fell in love with some wooden spoons and kitchen items in this shop, so we purchased a few to add to our collection. My mom bought my boyfriend sister a bracelet and bought herself some lavender to take back to the states. My boyfriends sister bought a card and some "singing mice" as she calls them- wooden mice who look like they're singing. So adorable. I really quite enjoyed stopping in this shop and plan to make it a point to check it out whenever in the area again. Local goods are great!

I always though Hobbycraft at the Fort was the go-to place for all my crafting needs. But, living in Paisley, that can be a little difficult to get to (though I'll probably just order online if I need anything now...). I did a basic google search for craft shops in Glasgow, and this was the only one that suited my needs, so off I went to Craft World! From Hillington West train station, it's a bit of a walk, but I was so excited to be going there, I didn't really care. So anyway, I get there and it's an Aladdin's Cave of wonderful crafting goodies. Christ I could spend all day and a whole lot of money in here. It has everything you could ever hope to need. Rows and rows of scrapbooking paper, embellishments, punches, cards, die cuts, things to stick stuff together, paper...I could go on. The staff are really nice and friendly too. They also have a loyalty scheme where every £5 you spend, you get a sticker and when you fill the card, you get £25 to spend in store! Believe me, it's easy to rack up lots of stickers in one visit...

I found some needles that I wanted and a beautiful sock yarn that I didn't know I wanted. I love the surprise. And I managed to find a wee bit of space in my luggage to bring my unexpected finds back home. I made fingerless mitts with the yarn and have had more compliments than I could keep track of. Now if only I could find more of that yarn here in Los Angeles!

What a lovely shop! I'd been watching the progress of Sunshine No 1 via facebook, and was excited…read moreto pop in now that it's open. I actually visited by accident though as I was driving past and noticed it was open, so I popped in for a quick visit. This is a gift shop focussing on selling items made in the Glasgow/central belt area, which I think is a really lovely idea. I am forever buying presents for Aussies back home and it's always nice to be able to get something really local. I had a bit of a browse and saw at least 35 things I would love to own - there's really nice jewellery, mugs, felted animals, tote bags, candles, tea, prints, tea towels, cards and lampshades. There's stuff for babies but not too much stuff (sometimes nice gift shops get overrun with baby stuff!) - bibs etc. I picked up a little iron-on kit (see picture) for £5, there's matching badges to go with it too. Suzi who runs the shop is super sweet and welcoming, and will help you find whatever you need. She mentioned she is going to be hosting small classes (max 6 people at a time) in the shop - crochet, calligraphy, screen printing etc which I think is a great idea.

I can't believe I've not reviewed this wonderful wee shop! I love it :)…read more I'm a fan of all things crafty and gifty so I was very happy when this little spot popped up round the corner from my flat! Their motto is all about selling products created by local people around Glasgow and central Scotland. What a wonderful idea! It's a great wee shop for cards and gifts, there's some lovely hand crafted items. The stock changes all the time which is great, you never know what you'll find! I have a beautiful Glasgow skyline necklace the mr found in here. And the sell ovenbird coffee beans! Which was great to find out :) They also run classes and work shops some evenings, although I've not made it along to one, it looks like a lovely space to work in. And Suzi is lovely! I lost half an hour last time I popped in just browsing and chatting. :) just wish I was about when it's open more often!

There is an enormous selection of both yarns and cross stitch kits, needles and accessories and a HUGE selection of patterns. The owner is really helpful and patient and will give you advice when you ask but is equally happy to let you potter around just having a look.

Even if you live a few miles away, get yourself on the plane, train or automobile and get yourself to this glorious crafty shop.

It is owned by a lovely Irish couple who always seemed to have the gift of the gab. Sadly they don't seem to be in the shop all that often now and there doesn't seem to be quite the same pride in the shop. That is not to decry the lovely lady who works here but there seems to be items perpetually crammed at the front of the shop which are reduced for clearance. This gives it a bit of a sad feel however that all said there are still some lovely things to be found. They stock lovely soaps, jewellery, hand bags, kiddie items and baskets. It is just a case to pop in every now and then to see if anything catches your eye.

They have a really good selection of art and prints. I found a Bee & Thistle print I had to have, and they even put it in a mailing tube so that I can send it home and not have to carry it around with me. Their gift shop has a great selection of jewelry, souvenirs, and gifts for loved ones back home. Many things you cannot find in the bigger cities here, as they are local made. The cafe in the back has wonderful homemade food. We had soup and toasties (grilled cheese sealed in a pie iron), and the quiche of the day, which were all really good. The desserts will tempt you to take them home with you. Its definitely a nice place to stop while touring the Glencoe valley.
