  monsterwrangler asked:

  Where do you find a good selection of fabric for sewing? Recently moved to UK and I'm finding it very difficult to find fabric for my sewing hobby. The habedasheries in my town only sell a dismal array of quilting cotton. I'm looking for a good selection of stretchy cotton, Jersey, french terry and tracksuit material. What is the best online shop to find these? Are there any large fabric shops worth visiting in East Anglia or in London?

  https://www.abakhan.co.uk Abakhan’s on Oldham Street. It’s a haberdashery with a big range of fabric. Downstairs it’s sold by weight and upstairs there’s fabric on the roll so you can buy by length.

  If you're looking for local, then yes, Wool Warehouse. Otherwise, it really depends on what you're looking for .... Kemps (http://www.kempswoolshop.com/) does some great clearance items, Abakhan tends to have "novelty" yarn as well as regular (https://www.abakhan.co.uk/)

  Paula D. asked:

  Hi guys, sorry to bother but does anyone know of any online fabric stores that are rather affordable? There's not many shops I can access and eBay is a massive gamble. Many thanks in advance.
