Information

Here at Abakhan, we pride ourselves on offering value for money through the vast range of Fabrics, Yarns, Crafts, Sewing Accessories and Haberdashery we have on offer. We are committed to sourcing the best products at the best prices for our customers and frequently have stock lots, clearance parcels and special offers available.

Started by the Abakhan family in the late forties as a rug weaving business, the first retail outlet opened in Mostyn, North Wales over thirty years ago. Still headed by family members, Abakhan has now been trading for almost 60 years, with ten stores across the North West (North Wales, Manchester, Liverpool, Birkenhead, Chester, Hanley, Preston, Bolton, Altrincham and now Shrewsbury).

The company also owns a subsidiary business in the Baltic States, which has been operational since the early nineties and now has retail outlets in Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, also trading under the Abakhan name.
