The Grassmarket Embroidery Shop is why we need independent shops. Prices are (very) slightly higher than in, for example, John Lewis, but when you shop there you don't leave just with thread. I'm a self-taught, extremely average cross-stitcher and embroiderer who generally refuses to follow patterns, and in one small transaction left with more helpful practical advice that I would have got in an hour of searching online. The owner is friendly, interested and so helpful, as well as being extremely patient when you spend half an hour deciding on the perfect shade of green - they understand that it's important! There are both Anchor and DMC threads for sale, as well as materials and kits, but the advice is what's really invaluable. The shop seems to have quite random opening hours, but is definitely worth hunting out.

It's closed! As in totally closed down, not there any more. The guy in the jewellery shop next door said it's been closed for 3 years!
