Thimbles Quilt and Knit is conveniently situated in the heart of Durbanville, one of the oldest towns in South Africa and part of the greater Cape Town Metropole. The town has kept its small town atmosphere and is in the midst of working wine farms, with many wine tasting and dining opportunities.

We pride ourselves on a wide range of quality QUILTING fabrics, most of which we import directly from Japan and the US. With more than 2000 quality fabrics to choose from, we cater for a wide variety of needs and tastes. We stock all the standard quilting accessories that you will need to complete your quilting projects.

KNITTING and CROCHET is our other passion. We stock everything from most local yarns to exclusive European yarns. Every year the Winter and Summer seasons bring new exciting yarns and trendy patterns. Knitting a garment is a significant investment in time and effort, therefore we pay meticulous attention to quality, as it just makes sense to use a yarn that will wear comfortably for many years.

Although our focus is on quilting and knitting, we stock most of the accessories required for EMBROIDERY, including DMC threads and a good variety of patterns. Our selection of HABERDASHERY and RIBBONS satisfy most needs and we are the destination of choice for people looking for exceptional BUTTONS.

Every year we teach hundreds of aspiring crafters how to quilt, knit and crochet and also enhance the skills of the experienced in our advanced classes. Sign up for our exciting classes and learn new skills, or broaden your knowledge, all the while making new friends who share your interests! Please book early, the classes are popular and seating is limited, as we want to make sure you get personal attention.

Our friendly staff strive to make your visit as pleasant and rewarding as possible. If we don't have what you are looking for, we will try our outmost to source it.

If the time needed to peruse the thousands of yarns and fabrics overwhelms your partner or family, the wine farms and Tyger Valley Shopping Centre are close enough to keep them busy, while you are making the important choices. We promise you a rewarding and enjoyable quilting and knitting outing at Thimbles Quilt and Knit!
