At StraightCurves, we're passionate about supporting businesses in the Chesterfield area. Here are a few of the local shops and businesses that we love:
Economy Fabrics
The Wool Cabin
If you need lots of wool at bargain prices, this is the only place to go. Dave is on the market most Saturdays and now also has a shop within the Market Hall. He has an ever-growing range of wool from basic DK acrylic to sock yarn, scrarf yarn, chunkies and lots lots more. He also stocks patterns, needles and hooks.
Please note StraightCurves takes absolutely no responsibility the fact that you may need to make several trips into town in order to carry your normal shopping home as well as your new yarn (We regularly have to do this and just see it as part of our fitness routine!)
The Wool Cabin, Unit 12 (indoor), Chesterfield Market Hall, Chesterfield, S40 1AR
Telephone: 07553 847483
Fred's Haberdashery
Frankly if Fred's don't have it you don't need it! Lorraine and Alan, the owners, are fantastic and passionate about everything they do and sell. Fred's has recently moved into this new, bigger, shop and now has even more range to buy from and there is more downstairs too so if you can't see it ask and one of the friendly staff will be able to help you out. So whether you need some fancy trim, a particular type of button, a rotary cutter, a tatting tool, sparkly things or elegant feathers - it's there waiting for you. If you are a member of the StraightCurves Creative Club and you take your membership card along she will even knock 10% off your bill.
Please note, StraightCurves takes absolutely no responsibility for the number of pretty bits and bobs (and bobbins) that will accumulate in your home (we're too busy trying to find places for all of ours!)
Freds Haberdashery, Unit 8 (opposite Natwest), Market Hall, Chesterfield, S40 1AR

Esberger Fabrics
Based in the Market Hall, Esberger's is the perfect destination if you are in town and need some fabric or a dressmaking pattern. They have loads to choose from and are very helpful. They have cottons, polycottons, a great range of oil cloth, fat quarters and much much more. They even do flooring! If you are a member of the StraightCurves Creative Club and you take your membership card along, they will even knock 10% off your bill.
Please note StraightCurves takes absolutely no responsibility for any extra storage needed to accomodate your new extended fabric stash at home or the sudden desire to buy oilcloth for no real functional reason - just because it's pretty.
Esbergers Fabrics, Unit 33, The Market Hall, Low Pavement, Chesterfield, S40 1AR

Wingham Wool Work
This is a more recent discovery - and what an amazing one it is! This place literally has sheds and sheds of wool for felting and other things too. They have an incredible range of different fibres including recycled sari yarn, recycled plastic bottles, kemp, merino, wool, cotton, bamboo and too many others to mention. They also stock lots of other bits and bobs too. Ruth is lovely and gave me a guided tour when I went to visit including showing me the roller felting machine that they hire out for people to use.
Please note StraightCurves takes absolutely no responsibility for hours spent ooohing and aaaahing while you try to decide how much to buy and what you can fit in the car (we order ours online now, to ensure we only get what we need!)
