Calico Laine is a small family business based on the Wirral, but is widely known across the whole of the UK and EU. We sell lots of different craft supplies, such as, wool and knitting needles, bag making, card making and wedding products. Our main speciality, however, is dressmaking. Both in-store and online we have a huge array of different fabrics that can be used to make lots of different types of garments! We have been established now for over 40 years and we have spent that time creating a friendly and welcoming environment for all of our customers. Countless times we are described by our loyal customers as a 'treasure trove' or 'Alladin's cave', so come on in to either of our stores, Neston, Cheshire or Liscard, Wirral to see for yourselves! At Calico Laine our highly experienced and helpful team are devoted to helping you get the most from your crafting by sourcing new and exciting craft supplies and products for you to try, as well as finding all of the latest fashion fabrics both printed and plain! After such a great success at our first shop, in the summer of 2006 it was decided that Calico Laine was to open its online e-commerce store so that we could better fulfil international and national demands for our products! Our website is viewed by thousands every day and we constantly get told what a good selection of products we stock. As a Uk Craft Supplier, Calico Laine offers an exciting and wonderful selection of craft products, haberdashery items and fabric to choose from with very quick delivery! Every single day we have customers place orders with us from all across Europe and the United Kingdom, so wherever it is you are today, put your feet up, take it easy because we know we will have what you want and need! Many customers who are not lucky enough to live local to wither of our stores sometimes worry that the fabric they love and admire on screen will not be the same in person, which is why we offer a quick and efficient sample service. All of our samples are approximately 8cm wide by 15cm long, enabling our customer to see the colour of the fabric, the pattern and also allows enough space to test run the fabric through the sewing machine to see how well it sews! As well as giving a sample of the fabric we also include the composition, metre price and width information so that you can work out how much you will need if you so choose to buy the material.
