Comfort in Kilt and Hose

This sounds like an amazing place!

Totally awesome.

I go in with my small bag at the ready with thoughts of just having a look around for a few bits, and an hour or more later emerge with a huge black bin bag stuffed full - they have books, magazines, knitting and sewing patterns packaging of the most astonishing shapes and colours from tiny to huge, coloured and printed paper - and that's just the first corner.
The binbag costs £7 and a small carrier bag size is £4, the fabric is usually £1 per metre off the rolls or there are cut pieces which usually work out cheaper. Its the sort of place where you can find a thousand pound sewing machine for £45 or someone's bobbin lace equipment being sold of at £5 for a pack of 10 hand made bobbins with spangles attached.

I really miss it, but the lockdown is giving me time to work my way through some previous acquisitions.
