Calico Laine was first established in 1973 by David and Wendy Baker. For the first few years of their careers they ran a number of successful stalls in their local markets in Birkenhead, Neston and many more locations.  Over time, a demand for the products became so big that David and Wendy decided to move away from the market scene and open a retail store full time. After having such a great success from the first shop David and Wendy opened, in the summer of 2006, Calico Laine opened their online store in order to better fulfill national and international demand for its products. Since then, Calico Laine has been running an ever-expanding mail order division. Through our mail order division we have brought our vast range of quality Fabrics, Haberdashery, Crafts goods and Diamante items to doorsteps all over the UK. Through our online shop, our objective is to offer a huge range of our products at unbeatable prices, supported by passionate and in-depth product knowledge! Our website allows you to buy all of the things you need from different fabrics; chiffons, linens, tartans etc, to the massive selection of Haberdashery items we stock, such as, scissors, threads, zips and much, much more. It also allows you to buy our goods twenty four hours a day, all year round! A lot of our customer know we have a retail branch in Liscard, Wirral, but a lot of our customer don't know that the 4500 square foot units in Neston, Cheshire, even though they are used to support our mail order division, they are open to the public with no appointment necessary, so please feel free to come and have a look around. Both of our shops sell all of the fabric and Haberdashery items that are shown online.
