Welcome to Calico Kate!

Patchwork figures

Calico Kate is closed to visitors,
but not to your orders!

So it is mail orders only during the Coronavirus closure

It is my intention to continue to accept and process orders received by email in the usual way. Orders may take a little longer than usual to be dispatched, so please be patient!

When emailing an order, be sure to include your telephone number, the name of the fabric collection(s), the code number(s) and description as on my website, and the quantity required.

As soon as possible, I will then check that it is in stock, and telephone you to confirm and take your credit card details.

As I am working on my own, I am not able to accept telephone calls; with so many rooms to search for fabric, not to mention the stairs, I am getting fitter every day!

Do what I am doing:
Quilt, eat, sleep, and repeat!
It really does help.
With love from Kate

International orders

As the restrictions on overseas mail are changing constantly, both in the UK and abroad, I may not be able to take orders from outside the United Kingdom, but always ask, as I can check at my local Post Office, as information can change daily.

About Calico Kate

Established in 2002, Calico Kate has gained a reputation as an 'Aladdin's Cave' for patchworkers, dressmakers, knitters and embroiderers.

In a building full of charm and character, you can now wander through twelve rooms of fabric, haberdashery and yarn, in a relaxed
and homely atmosphere.

Calico Kate is in Lampeter's High Street, next to the handsome Town Hall.
