Hobby Craft

Advantages: Everything under one roof at reasonable prices.

Once upon a time there was a little girl who sat on her Nana’s knee. Her Nana was a clever woman, who could make miracles with her hands; she knitted tiny baby grows for premature children, she cross-stitched birthday cards, and she did Quilling, Rugging, stamping. Her house was full of balls of wool, snippets of cotton and she always had a pair of safety scissors hanging round her neck. This girl grew up to be like her Nana; creative, arty and ...
...to buy all the things that she needed for her creations. One day, many years later, while she was driving through Newport, she found it – HobbyCraft. **************************************************************************************** ►WHAT IS HOBBYCRAFT?◄ ☼ The HobbyCraft in Newport is like a shrine to all things crafty, people flock there from miles around to get their hands on specific shades of card, new knitting needles ...

Advantages: go in and come out with a new hobby in mind and thinking I can do that
Disadvantages: you will want dozens of new hobbys

...they have pamplets on the hobby telling you what equiptment you require and help and tips on how to do things. With the help of these pamplets I was able to make the candles perfectly. I know its not rocket science to make candles but following the leaflets I achieved it so it proves how well written they are. The shop itself is well set out with a main aisle down the centre with buckets of special offers and sale items. Everything is well set out ...
...to you about your new hobby or find someone to help you and will also tell you if in the near future there is going to be a demonstration of that craft in the shop. The prices of what I have bought in there so far have been cheaper that I could have got them elsewhere.

Advantages: Quality, excellent service, good prices and range of goods
Disadvantages: None

I have been with these opticians ever since and I have and will not change. 1) The service is very good indeed. Even though I now work else where I still go back because I get a great service. The staff are friendly and know what they are talking about and do not try to sell me extra unnecessary bits and bobs that I do not need. I am treated with respect and as an individual - not like yet another sheep going through... Read review
