Reviews

“The fabric came in good time. The weight of the will is heavy, so it will be a lovely warm coat once I make it. Making a toile first.”

★★★★★ Margaret Greenman, March 2024

"Croft Mill didnt have enough of the fabric I ordered but excellent communication & an alternative was supplied.”

★★★★★ Sue Scott, March 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

“I have used Croft Mill for a long time now and have always been pleased with the fabric I received. Descriptions of fabrics are always clear and give information on weight suitability for particular garments and most importantly, washability and shrinkage - much more than many websites.”

★★★★★ Susan Mary Deans, Feb 2024
