The store also sells patterns, books, notions, and other sewing needs. Classes and workshops are also available; make a reservation today.

What are the other best fabric stores in the region?

  • Another great fabric store in the region is New England Fabrics and Decorating Center, which has been operating since 1934 when two brothers opened a fabric store in the basement of a building on Federal Street in Keene, New Hampshire. And now, 88 years later, the store has grown mightily surviving a name change, two moves, and the addition of several different departments to accommodate each customer's special needs. Some of those include quilting, discount fabrics, fashion, decorating, knitting and yarns, and sewing machines.

Where else can I shop at the best stores in Delaware?

  • One of the best stores in Delaware is The Yarn Maven in Smyrna. The store offers yarn, notions, and supplies for crocheting, knitting, and other crafts.
