I know how you feel. Hobbycraft are OK if you want to start a new craft -
they've got a wide range of things. But it's no good if you want much
beyond beginner's level stuff.  I go there for embroidery threads,
particularly Kreinik metal threads that aren't easy to get, and I've been
able to get some other bits and pieces there that I wouldn't have found on
the high street.

I hate the way the small needlework shops have been going out of business
in recent years - there were 3 in central London that I used to frequent
and they've all gone.   And does anyone remember "The Needlewoman", that
used to be in Regent St about 30 years ago? I never went there, but heard
about it.

Regards,
Annette, in London
