Reviews

“This was the first time I've ordered from Croft Mill and I was delighted. The colour of the cotton fabric was exactly as it appeared on the website. It was despatched very quickly and so well packaged it didn't need any initial pressing.”

★★★★★ Kate Thornton, April 2024

“Bought a pattern for shorts & trousers. Haven't used it yet, but instructions look look straightforward. Have bought lots of fabrics over many years. Always great service.”

★★★★★ Sally Furnell, Feb 2024

“Had been hunting for some satin for flower girl dresses without success - floppy and with no substance - then found Croft Mill, requested a sample and it was perfect. Rang and spoke to Holly, who was sooo helpful and placed an order which came very quickly . Thank you for your sterling service.”
