From a Dorset Craft Shop to a National Retailer
Hobbycraft was founded in 1995, opening its original store in Ferndown near Bournemouth. It grew by bringing a wide selection of craft materials and equipment together under one roof.
The business has since expanded across the UK, adding an online shop, workshops and supplies for a broad range of creative hobbies.
Art Supplies and Painting
Hobbycraft stocks paints, brushes, canvases, sketchbooks, pencils and drawing materials. The range includes watercolour, acrylic and oil painting supplies, along with equipment for school, college and personal art projects.
Shoppers can compare materials, pack sizes and tools for different techniques and skill levels.
Knitting, Sewing and Fabric
The haberdashery department includes yarn, knitting needles, crochet hooks, fabrics, sewing machines, patterns and essential sewing accessories. These supplies cater to clothing alterations, handmade gifts and larger textile projects.
Check fabric dimensions, yarn weight and care instructions before ordering materials.
Papercraft, Jewellery Making and Model Kits
For paper-based projects, Hobbycraft sells card, scrapbooking supplies, stamps, decorative papers and cutting tools. Other products include beads, jewellery-making components, model kits and materials for handmade decorations.
Its range also includes craft blanks that can be personalised for gifts, celebrations and home décor.
Baking, Cake Decorating and Party Supplies
Hobbycraft stocks cake tins, icing tools, food colouring, piping accessories and decorations for homemade cakes and biscuits. Shoppers can also find party decorations, gift wrapping, balloons and supplies for weddings and other celebrations.
