beverley ewers: I took up crochet and was passing this place,thought I'd go in n look.I was surprised by the amount of wool and varied range of colours they had. Will most definitely go there again.We did have a look round the rest of the shop and reckon it caters for all hobbies and all ages.

Kimberly Miller: Loved this place. It has a diverse amount of random things for all types of stuff. Giving it a 4 because I didn’t find everything I was looking for but it is worth a look if you’re doing anything that classifies as crafty.

John Havell: Got what we needed. Thank you.

Tony Tassell: Good staff and a great store

Ralph Werner: We found a lot of things we were looking for at a decent price.

Ilona Demeter: Staff always helpful, well stocked shop.

Samuel Walton: My number 1 place to get all my sewing bits from!

Robert Hogg: Good stock and helpful staff

Jake Talbot: A jewel in Colchester, friendly staff and a great service. Thanks again.

Emma Nind: Wonderful shop with beautiful range of fabrics, staff were very friendly and helpful

Pat Caplin: Always a pleasure to go into this lovely shop. A bit of an Aladdin's cave. Staff pleasant and helpful. This place is quite unlike most other retail outlets. It is a bit of an oasis of calm. Great.

Linda Watts: So unusual to get good service currently but I was pleasantly surprised when I took my sewing machine in for repair to Franklins today. Extremely friendly and helpful member of staff who carried my machine from the car to the store and then diagnosed the problems I was having immediately and put the machine right quickly. Very appreciative.

sandra scott: Very helpful and friendly staff. Not only did I come away with fabulous material but very helpful advice on how to transfer my dress to a pattern. Amazing.

R B: to find my wonderful sewing machine ready to go to work again for me whenever I need it.I still have my overlocker bought from Franklins about 20 years ago, and it still finishes off all my sewing beautifully.If you want to buy a sewing machine or overlocker, then Franklins is a really helpful store, but they do go that extra mile as well, with great customer care whenever it’s needed. Highly recommended.

Patricia Bowers: So grateful for the brilliant service today. Had a problem with my Juki machine and George helped me rectify the issue over the phone. Would thoroughly recommend this friendly family run business.

Vicky Wright: lovely staff very helpful. Loads of choice too.

Kirstine: What fantastic service I have had today! Was having an issue with my Juki today so rang the store and George called me back on a video call and helped me get it sorted. User error 🤦🏼‍♀️ not the machine. They were so helpful when I bought the machine and it’s great to have such amazing after sales service too !

Christopher Eldred: 10/10 very helpful and friendly

Craig Brooke: Having recently purchased a Brother V3 from Franklin's the partner needed a new sewing machine. George talked us through different options and demonstrated an amazing machine. The Fiancé is very happy. Would highly recommend. Who says old school customer service does not exist? If you need a new machine give Franklin's a look.

Samantha Sherratt: Visited the shop today, after having called yesterday and found they had the exact fabric I needed. I had rather a long shopping list, and the woman who served me was extremely helpful in making sure I got everything I needed and gave me so much useful advice as well.I didn't get her name, sorry! But wanted to say thank you so much for all your help!Have a great selection of fabrics, calicos, needles, loads of different threads, interfacings, and fabrics of course too! Literally everything you need to craft to your heart's content.Thank you again 😊
