Just love this place if your a sewer or crafter could end up spending hours in the fabric treasure trove.

I ordered the Pollenca Crystal Dot stretch velvet to find that even though its described with the word crystal, the dots are in fact a dull silver. The picture doesn't reflect this as it's unclear. They won't take the fabric back, even though they could easily sell it as a remnant, so I'm 25 down and stuck with fabric I can't use. Poor description and even poorer service.

Never had any issues before until today. Made an order, called up to cancel it later that day due to a mistake. I got promised on the phone that it was fine and the refund will be started the following day. The next day I got a call saying they had already posted it and can't refund it. I was promised that it was fine on the phone (despite double checking and telling the lady I spoke to that I understand if not) so have spent the 60 elsewhere and am now left out of pocket. Won't be returning to this shop which is a shame because I have previously shopped here a lot and it was one of my favourites

This shop is fantastic. There are very few independent shops with the vast selection of fabrics, notions and experienced staff who understand the needs of the sewing community. I was making a Luna Lapin doll and got lovely fabric from here. However, the name Remnant House does not do it justice, it actually has 2 floors of top quality material. I came from Newcastle and will be returning soon. Well worth a trip to Harrogate.
