I've just been to Hobby craft to buy some thread and they said the 50% off sale starts tomorrow.
I just bought the one reel I needed for tonight, might have to go back tomorrow :D
-
I heard that they have some good ottlights on sale at very good prices; I think I will hie me hence to Hobbycraft tomorrow!
:( No Ottlites on sale but their Really Useful Storage towers are a good price, so if I can get one in the car I think I might buy the FQ sized one! :)
-
I have been waiting for this to stock up on thread. Thank you for the heads up.
-
I never think of Hobbycraft at all because I can get the stuff I need cheaper all the time.
-
Just stocked up on sulky and sew all thread. I am not sure whether I have enough room for anymore. I will need to find some more shoeboxes for storage I think.
-
The nearest Hobbycraft is 20+ miles away so any savings would be taken up by petrol to get there. Thank goodness for my local haunting/hunting ground that is Abakhan.
-
My nearest Hobbycraft is 25+ miles away in Maidstone so I don't often go there. They do occasionally have good bargains, on one occasion I got a load of Regia sock yarn for less than half price.
As for getting bargains at Abakhan or Immanuals - I've never set foot an any of them. Why are they all up north? :'(
-
Brenda, you will just have to have a holiday in Lancashire! Why are they up north? It might be something to do with the former textile industry (says she, clutching at straws). Also some are in what I would guess to be fairly cheap premises to rent.
On the other hand, London has Goldhawk Road :P :P and Woolcrest in Hackney and other places I daren't visit for fear of serious wallet depletion!
-
If we go that way it's Warrington (Cheshire now but was Lancashire until 1974) and that seems to be the only town up there which doesn't have one of those Aladin's caves. :\

Oh dear, 4 days since this was posted so I'm not sure if they'l still have many of the biggest Gutermann reels left. I'm not desperated but a couple more of the basic colours will keep me going for ages.
I don't go to Hobbycraft to find bargains either but the 50% off Gutermann sale isn't matched elsewhere in my experience so is well worth the 9 mile trip to my nearest store as we often go past.

I bootled down there to collect a magnifying daylight lamp for £20, (which I had ordered online, as it was out of stock in store)

(which I was disappointed in when I realised it wasn't an Ottlite as I had believed*),
and with my 15% off voucher I had received when ordering that ... I added
a Gigantic Really Useful boxes rainbow tower for £28
(http://www.hobbycraft.co.uk/supplyimages/572895_1000_1_800.jpg)
and Six 1000m reels of Guterman in basic colours for £4.50 each !!!!
Sorry, Marnie, I might have snaffled the last of them!
* My disappointment soon faded as just after I got in with my booty, Mei managed to dislodge her necklace once more and I (almost) effortlessly managed to put it back together using the light and magnifier ...something that usually necessitates a visit to the jewellers!!!
-
Cor blimey, that's set and a half of drawers!! I may have to have a little look see...
-
Exactly, Its about 50" tall and comes to just under my shoulder height and might just tame my overflowing stash ...
and in colour order .....
