"Just received my first order from Croft Mill and I’m delighted with the service and quality of the fabrics I have chosen. I will definitely be a returning customer! Thanks for a prompt delivery service too."

“I use Croft Mill via their online shop. I have been using them for a while (my first order was in 2011). Their fabrics are always of good quality and they value their customers. Unlike some suppliers, you can contact them by phone or email & where they can help they generally do. Orders are always packaged well and depending on demand, they turn their orders around quickly. Will definitely use them again and would certainly recommend them.”

“I have made several purchases from CM, the quality is very good. Despatch time is excellent. My last order, I received the incorrect item, which as we all know can be an easy mistake at busy times. Holly in customer services responded very quickly and efficiently with the correspondence side of things, and the matter was very quickly resolved with my replacement of original order. I would certainly recommend Croft Mill for an all-round excellent service. Thank you.”

“Just finished making the Monty brushed tartan into a dress- absolutely love it. Fabric handles well and colour pops. Now making up the Dragonfly teal crepe into a full-length slip dress, lined. Fabulous drape and really easy to handle. I love Croft Mill and wouldn’t go anywhere else. Website is easy to use and fabrics are excellent quality.”
