Frocks & Stock Canterbury

Whilst visiting Canterbury at the weekend I stopped in at Frocks & Stock which is a charity shop with a very large haberdashery department. The entire downstairs room is fabrics (some on rolls, most on hangers), plus patterns, yarns, accessories, buttons, and sewing machines.

I saw lots I liked but was sensible and came away with 2.5m of a really lovely burgundy jersey. Has very strong recovery so I suspect a decent spandex and cotton. It was £6. They had loads!

Pity I'm so far away.. or maybe that's a good thing.  :D There are some great bargains to be had in charity shops specialising in habby.

Ooh, my daughter lives only a few miles from Canterbury, may have to try to go next time we're down there...

I've never seen a charity shop selling habby!  What a great find, @Francesca  !
