Nowadays being online is a huge part of a business, small or big, which is why we launched our website back in 2006 as we not only wanted the locals to have access to our fantastic stock but the whole of the EU! Imagine if you had emigrated to Spain or somewhere else nice and sunny and once a week when your friend Skyped you they always raved about this fabulous fabric/haberdashery shop in their village, and you knew all about it but just could not reach it?! It would be awful! So with Calico Laine becoming an Online Fabric Supplier it stopped that horrifying scenario from ever playing out. With our website being available to you all 24/7/365 it makes it a considerable amount easier to purchase all of our lovely fabrics and haberdashery items. Just imagine that you want to buy something from a shop, you put the effort in to get changed, get in your car (or on public transport - which is even more of an effort!)  and when you get to said shop, it's closed. In my opinion, there is literally nothing worse than that feeling when you are stood outside and feeling like they should have personally called you to let you know! Which obviously they would never do, as you should probably have double checked the opening times -  but thats besides the point! Then you feel all deflated, return home and find another shop that is more easily accessible. Like an online shop. Like Calico Laine. Since our website is operational around the clock you can use it at your convenience from wherever you are - whether you are in the local coffee shop, at a friends or when you are lounging around your house! Our website has fabrics for every occasion, such as weddings and almost every haberdashery item you could ever imagine!
