Fabric Toronto
A guide to finding fabric, craft and bead supplies in Toronto
Are you looking for fabric Toronto, or crafting supplies?
Anything you DIY can be found in the city.
From button shops to knitting spots there is an abundance of places for crafters to flock.
Here you will find Arton Beads plus many other bead shops. The prices along Queen are more competitive than in other parts of the city.
Although no longer home to Mac Fab, my all time favourite fabric store, this area still houses a number of fabric shops. Each specializes in something different, whether it be home interiors, wool or discount items.
You will also find three knitting shops and a store dedicated to buttons only.
This is where you will find Sarah Richardson looking for fabric and buttons for those fantastic pillows she makes for clients!
Make sure that if you haven't found the store you want to keep walking west as some of these DIY shops spill over into West Queen West
There are loads more places to shop for DIY than just Queen West. Check out what you are looking for below and our neighbourhood suggestions!
