Haberdashery / Fabric shops

[tea drinker]

have just found in Devonport;
Cushlas fabric - lovely shop for patchwork (no idea how expensive it is as I have little to compare it with)
next door (or next door but 1) lovely wool shop
and round the corner an Ikes Emporium (definately cheaper)

for knitters in AKL city - Mascos in Downtown Westfield Centre- has a lovely selection

generally I find the cost of wool/yarn here a bit more expensive that in the UK but have found a good range

and the verdict on arthurs was that although not as much choice in the manukau shop, its much tidier and better organised, so easier to find what you need!

What's it like compared to the Spotlight store for fabric? I feel a fabric stash buying session coming on

Nowhere near as much choice but generally cheaper, most of what they sell is seconds, so you need to keep your eye open for flaws!
but they have heaps of thread, buttons, ribbons, webbing etc which is way way cheaper than spotlight.
Did you find the $4 fleece in the manukau spotlight store?

anyone seen inexpensive fleece in Christchurch?
