Shepherd’s Bush

While the store and merchandise are very cute, I always feel like I’m interrupting someone else’s party. I go in once or twice a year, and the staff always seems to be involved in extended conversations with regulars. I go in and browse for an hour without ever being greeted or asked if I need help. That’s fine. I prefer to not be harassed while I’m shopping. But when I go to check out, it’s a major imposition to take my money. The service is cold, abrupt, impatient, and unfriendly. Don’t even ask about cutting fabric. It’s sad when online shopping offers a more personal experience – you pay less and aren’t made to feel like you’re a hassle. I believe in supporting local business – even when it costs more – and I hate to give a local place a bad review, but a local place that acts like a clique is no fun to support.

Very creatively setup inside! Gives you a warm feeling going in and coming out. Anyone in need of some embossing, knitting, pretty much anything with string work, should definitely go here.
