Very tiny, with a very small selection of yarns (Debbie Bliss, Rowan, Noro), some fabrics, buttons and a good selection of embroidery supplies, especially DMC.

Sew In is a very small shop. This alone is not an issue, for many small shops can excel in many ways. The problem here is that small does equal poor, with an abysmal selection of yarns (Opal, Regia, Debbie Bliss, Rowan, Noro), one skein at a time. This is not the place where you can find 10 skeins to knit that long cardigan you had in mind. The selection of buttons isn't bad but do not expect anything exciting or innovative. It also sells fabrics (not very many) and huge hanks of aran wool. The selection of embroidery threads is really quite good, but we are not talking anything that John Lewis doesn't have. In fact, if you do have a department store near you, then there is no need to take a trip to Sew In. Helpful as they try to be, they just don't stock very much.

Sew In is a small shop but given the alternatives in the area it's not all bad. Very friendly helpful service and sufficient yarn for my needs so far :)

The staff here are very helpful and when I wanted wool to knit the long cardigan they got it delivered to the store before they closed that day! The window displays are pretty poor and old fashioned but don't be put off - frankly I choose to drive here rather than go to John lewis everytime. If we don't support shops like this they will not survive!
