About the Brand
Minerva Crafts started in 1998 as a family-run business in Darwen, Lancashire, founded by Annette and Phil Ormerod. What began as a physical craft centre on Atlas Road has since evolved into one of the UK’s most prominent online sewing and knitting retailers, shipping worldwide from their Lancashire headquarters.
The inventory is genuinely staggering, boasting well over 130,000 individual lines ready for same-day despatch. We’re talking beautifully curated garment fabrics, from stretchy jersey knits to delicate chiffons, alongside every haberdashery essential you could possibly need. Whether you’re hunting for a specific indie dressmaking pattern, high-quality zips, or bulk yarn, they consolidate the entire maker’s supply chain into a single, highly efficient digital storefront.
What really sets them apart from standard fabric shops is the community focus and the Craft Club. For a modest annual fee, members unlock a permanent 10% discount that stacks on top of existing sale prices—a rare perk in the craft retail space. They also run a charitable giving scheme, donating a portion of those membership fees to various local and global causes.
Pairing that permanent member discount with the seasonal sales and the promo codes listed below makes this page an essential bookmark for any serious sewist looking to stretch their budget.

Shopping Guide
When is the best time to stock up on fabric? We’ve noticed Minerva runs their most aggressive clearance events during the seasonal transitions, particularly when they need to shift bulky winter wools to make way for spring linens. If you’re planning a major wardrobe overhaul, wait for the end-of-season sales where dressmaking fabrics can drop by up to 50%. Combining these automatic markdowns with your Craft Club discount yields the lowest possible price per metre.
Is the Craft Club membership actually worth the £20 fee? It completely depends on your annual sewing budget. Because the 10% member discount stacks on top of existing promotions and sale prices, it acts as a permanent multiplier on your savings. If you spend more than £200 a year on yarn, patterns, and textiles, the membership pays for itself. Plus, a portion of your subscription goes to charity, which softens the upfront cost.
What should I watch out for when ordering textiles online? The biggest pitfall we see is buying expensive designer fabrics without checking the returns policy first. Minerva offers a generous 30-day free UK returns service for most items, but fabrics cannot be returned once they have been cut into. If you’re unsure about a drape or colourway, order a cheap sample swatch first. It saves you from being stuck with three metres of unsuitable material.
