When I moved to Dubai less than 2 years ago, I was trying to find where I can buy my yarn and materials from. I tried Google, Facebook and asking around, until I found a few!
YarnsDubai.com
This is the only online store in Dubai and I love their collection, I ordered 6 balls of yarn the very first time I visited their website. They offer a full range of yarn sizes, brands and colors. They recently added a new option for free patterns and continuously offer a new range of crafts materials. Their shipping service was also hassle-free & efficient!
What I particularly like in their website is their filter system and how much information they provide on their products. For example, they filter their yarn collection based on type, project, color and weight. After that you can further filter the results by brand or hook size. This is extremely helpful when there is a specific yarn used in a project that is unavailable to you. You can use this website to buy the closest type of yarn matching the project. I always use it as a reference to find my way around yarn.
Craft Land, in Town Center, Jumeirah
They also offer a wide range of crochet and crafts materials in general as well as magazines and teaching courses in crochet, knitting and sewing.
Satwa Area
This area has many shops that sell crafts materials ranging from buttons, ribbons, needles, yarn, fabric, cross-stitching, looms and all the basics. Their prices are average and can be negotiated sometimes. I tried two shops and always head to them first: Fida and Nippur.
Creative Minds, Umm Suqeim st.
There are maybe 4 stores under that name and they are all related. It has whatever your heart is set on finding. It is kinda like my Lala land. They have one specialized shop for arts and crafts and I only bought DMC threads from it. But if I am passing by, I just like to make a quick stop and look around. A feast to my eyes ladies!
I believe there are more stores in Deira and Ras Al Khor, but I did not try any of them. The above locations are tried based on my personal experience.
Let me know if you tried other locations 😉
