looking for felt and threads

Hello, to the craft people out there :)

I'm looking for some felt and some sewing threads. I've been making felt tree decorations, and I'm running low on materials.

Any recommendations for online shops? Ideally not an expensive site! Or has anyone seen any materials in shops recently?

I'd ideally like some sparkly threads (as i now owe my mom some, i used hers oops).

Thank you.

keely.

    I used leftover fleece instead of felt this year and it worked very well. Just an idea:)

    the range have felt squares (just smaller than a4) for 39p a sheet. I usually buy it by the metre in my local fabric store when i make a batch of xmas decs.

    That is a good idea :)

    I would normally look on ebay, only haven't got any funds in paypal right now. Need to get selling a few things first.

    I haven't heard of the range before? Ill see if I can find one.

    Thank for the suggestions :)
