Abakhan is hidden behind TJ Hughes and until today, I never knew such a shop existed as I seldom walk down this street. To my surprise, I was impressed to see how much this fabrics, hobby and home store had to offer. Inside is literally packed full of material in piles that look like an organised random mess! Most of the items they sell will attract the hobbyist such as arts and crafts material, stationery and needlework. They also have a variety of hobby books, cheap fashion jewellery and accessories. There is nothing really more you could ask for and for the prices they sell at, it works out a bargain apart from the more high-end material like animal fur. Common items, for example wool and cotton are inexpensive. If you are into any of the above criteria, I would highly recommend a visit to Abakhan’s as the shop is jam packed with bits and pieces.

The small collection of streets of which Abakhan’s is a part form what can be considered a textile and fabric centre of Liverpool and this place is the biggest of the bunch. Over two floors, Abakhan’s provides reams and reams of all kinds of cloths, fabrics and textiles at very cheap wholesale prices. If you’re the type who is in the business of dress making or interior design or just partake in such activities as a hobby then you can’t go on much longer if you haven’t found Abakhan’s or one of the smaller stores along this road. Just because it is cheap doesn’t mean that the quality is any less however you might have to look hard for any styles that are very stylish and modern.

Im looking for bridal fabric to make my wedding dress and have struggled to find what I wanted. After two failed atempts to get what I wanted from John Lewis in Liverpool(one in the new liverpool ONE store) I decided to go to Abakhan. This store is a bit warehousey but I could spend hours looking at all the fabric and bits available. With one half of the ground floor dedicated to wool and a craft shop too this is a crafters dream!
