I love this place…read more I went on a search for knitting wool and came here on the Yelp recommendation of Joanna. I had to fit my visit into the shop's limited and somewhat odd operating hours, but fit it into my schedule, I did. And I'm sure glad I did as well. The shop is nothing special from the outside, and it's nothing particularly special from the inside. The walls are cubby holes dedicated to the seemingly haphazard storage of knitting wool/yarn. It's par for the course of any knitting/crocheting store, really. But the jewel of this place is its business owner, retired Mrs M.A. Jones. She self-professedly runs a wool shop to keep herself out of trouble. Love. Her. She is potentially the most helpful person I've met in my life. She's eager to hear about your project and to give you ideas on what yarns will be best for it. She doesn't try to upsell you, and she will recommend an acrylic wool if that's what will suit your project the most. I went in one day and bought a skein of wool. I went in the next day to buy some more, but mostly to show off what I'd done with the first skein, so eager I was for her encouragement and praise. She stocks both high-end and economical wools, so if you're cheap like me you won't have to suppress your balking at the dear wools that come with dear prices. 100 grams of a 70/30 acrylic-alpaca for £2.99 suits me just fine.

They are also just plain accommodating and nice, while the ladies who come for the fortnightly quilters circles are just lovely.

If you want yarn, it's fine if you like acrylic, but useless if you actually want wool - the terms aren't interchangeable! It has a good line in standard cheap equipment - Pony needles, stitch holders, etc - but not much at the more interesting end of the market. If you are a traditional knitter who wants to churn out baby blankets and bootees, great - if you are into more contemporary items, you're better off looking elsewhere, I'm afraid. They also stock an interesting line of baby clothes and notions, which are worth a look if you want something traditional or not the standard Mothercare style.

In case you're not familiar with it, Brambles stocks wool, haberdashery and fabric. Apparently quite a lot of people make children's clothes using materials there. It's a shame it's so far out from the centre, but I guess it's not a huge mainstream interest. It's the sort of thing department stores want to be, but so much friendlier and more homely.

Originally I quite enjoyed visiting the ramshackle but very well-stocked fabrics, haberdashery,…read moreembroidery and crafts side of Masons in Bath Street. Although somewhat time-consuming to work through on your own to find what you need - it has an old shop appeal to it that some can find charming, the items that I've wanted for general sewing, embroidery and craft projects have usually been handily in stock. However, I've always found the staff to be very intimidating to speak to; I've been glared at for asking a polite question or advice, I've been ignored queueing at the counter in a practically empty shop when staff have been chatting to each other and, generally, made to feel I was unwelcome or an annoyance to be put up with. I thought the adjoining crafts and embroidery shop had more approachable people, but even that has changed in recent months to being greeted with unsmiling demeanours and barely a word spoken. What I decided was my final visit to this shop was having one of the trainees/temporary staff that regularly change on the haberdashery and fabrics section serve me with all the bad attitude that a bored, inexperienced and unhappy teenager can muster. Much eye rolling and huffiness ensued as an older staff member deliberately walked off and left the trainee alone to serve. For some minor purchases this was an unnecessary, and really off-putting, performance. I like to buy locally and support businesses, even at higher prices than you can find elsewhere, but not when I'm repeatedly treated to terrible customer service. Especially when it is noticeable that some customers immediately receive much more help and attention. If you don't mind the varying levels of service and attitude, then Masons is worth visiting for its wide range of stock. If you prefer to be treated with at least minimal courtesy and helpfulness as standard, best look elsewhere.
