Best yarn shop in Dublin…read more The owner is wonderfully friendly and helpful. There's such a great selection of yarn for such a small shop and it all seams to be decently priced. There's a great space upstairs where they do craft workshops and classes, unfortunately I haven't been to one yet. The window display is always inspirational and a joy to behold. Can't recommend it enough, just drop in and you won't be disappointed.

I'm gonna just up these guys to a four. Feck it, I'm feeling generous…read more Just bought some stretchy black fabric that cost €6/metre - I have not been able to get fabric at this price since I started sewing, outside of London or all the other bigger cities. This makes me very happy. As you were Trimmings.

we waited three days for the shop to open (It's closed Sunday and Monday) and it was worth every…read moreminute of the wait. Every sales person was friendly and very helpful as I planned to purchase wool for two sweaters, but had no pattern yet in mind. I never felt rushed, paid for the wool and then they reminded me that I needed a VAT back receipt. Thanks to them, I also got about €15 back on my purchases great store, don't miss it

As a youngin, I recall sitting on the floor of Hickey's for what seemed like an eternity while my mother debated the advantages of one model of net curtain over another. Not cool mom. Hickey's stocks an array of fabric so if you're after a matching shawl or scarf to go with that special dress then you should probably pay it a visit. If you're involved in a more complicated fabric project then this is the place for you too. Hickey's is loved by mums everywhere and is great for patterns, buttons, thread and any other dress-making paraphernalia that you can think of.

I am a big fan of Hickeys! You always associate it with your mom or oul wans but, it's an absolute…read moretreasure trove. If you need anything, and I mean anything, fabric/décor/clothes/accessory related, chances are you'll find it here. Take, for example, that I am heading to the Galway Races later this week and the thought of buying a hat off the shelf makes me want to vomit. So I'll be heading straight for hickeys to come up with some flower/feather/sequin concoction. They'll be able to supply everything from the fabric to the fasteners and I'm actually really excited about the fact that I can make it myself. Ps, I'm no creative whizz kid. If I can make something, anyone can.

From the artisan crafted pieces of Viking chess sets, to floor length hand-knitted Arran jumpers to hand-thrown pottery and tiny but artful busts of writers and their characters, there's plenty of unique ways to remember a trip to Ireland (or to give a fan of Irish culture right here in town). The shop feels a bit empty, but maybe they're going for artful minimalism like next-door Giles Norman Photography. No Guinness artifacts or Georgian Door chocolates here. No "May The Road Rise To Meet You" tea towels, miniature thatch-roof cottages or turf incense. This is beautiful Irish artwork pulled together for serious shoppers (with generous budgets).
