Material Things

Shopping

Material Things is a friendly, family run shop in the heart of Greenock. We opened for business over 20 years ago and has recently moved into a new phase in its development.

Having recently moved to a larger shop we continue to sell all the standard products and are now stocking a wider range of products including wool and knitting accessories.

Whether you are into dress-making, quilting, toy-making, embroidery, knitting, school uniform trims or many other activities, we can help!

We stock a wide range of fabrics, trimmings, ribbon, buttons, lace, backing, wadding, ‘DMC’ embroidery threads, quilting materials, toy stuffing, cushion pads and panels, pins, needles, thread, sewing boxes, wool, patterns, ready made items, end of range and seasonal sales…you name it, the chances are we have it.

You will find us opposite Wetherspoons on Cathcart Street, about 200metres from Greenock Central train station.
