It’s hardly a recent thing they have disappeared from all our local shopping centres over the last 20 years. Wool shops likewise, all crafty shops seem to be now in big retail outlets like Hobbycraft, Dunelm etc. You can find stalls in local markets occasionally otherwise it’s big prices in big shops, it’s a great shame.

Is it my imagination or are the number of independent haberdashers/fabric shops dwindling? Seems like the big chain stores are cashing in with fabrics, knitting yarns and notions at astronomical prices? Has anybody be else noticed this?
