I love this place! It’s one of the best places for craft supplies in Liverpool. It rivals Abikan because of it’s huge variety of felt squares in more colours than you could possibly need.(Abikan never seems to have more than about 20 colours.) They sell buttons, beads, ribbons, lace, yarn and wool, sequins, stickers, embellishments for cards, crochet hooks, knitting needles, scissors, and all sorts of other craft items and tools. And the prices are superb. The felt squares are around 37 pence for the small ones and 55 pence for the large ones(last I checked.) Most of the wool is between 79p and £3 a ball. And there are always some sale items like wool that’s really cheap, bundles of ribbon for a few pence, etc. Incidentally I have never seen any children try to grab things from this stall. I’m not really sure what that would be the only thing someone could think of to say about this perfectly delicious crafty wonderland.

A note to parents: Habiknit is one of those kind of stalls that makes young children want to grab everything in sight. There’s no sweets or chocolate on display but the brightly coloured tubes, boxes and containers of haberdashery clearly look like toys. Rest assured, the ones hanging from the walls and ceiling are safely out of reach but keep an eye our for the rows of accessories piled on the counter. All it takes is one excited three year old and and you’ll spend the next 15 minutes on your hands and knees picking up hundreds of buttons or heaven forbid, sequins!
