Hand-milled near Settle by two painters who got frustrated with what was available and decided to make their own. High-grade pigments, maximum pigmentation, no plastic sheen. Some colours unavailable anywhere else.
One of several brilliant paint ranges we stock. Worth knowing about.
Craft and Canvas is an independent art, yarn, and haberdashery shop in Hebden Bridge. We opened in 2023 with a simple idea — stock the things that are actually worth buying, know what we're talking about, and treat our customers like the serious makers they are.
We stock Wallace Seymour, Caran d'Ache, Sennelier, Rowan, Malabrigo, Baa Ram Ewe, and everything else you'd expect from a shop that genuinely cares about what goes on its shelves. And some things you probably wouldn't expect from anywhere.
If you can't find what you're looking for — ask. We can usually source it.

Soft pastels, oil pastels, and pastel pencils are genuinely different materials that suit different approaches and intentions. This complete guide covers all three: Seawhite soft chalk pastels from £4.99, Toison D'Or at £8.95, Seawhite oil pastels from £4.99, Caran d'Ache Neopastel professional oil pastels at £2.75 each, Faber-Castell Pitt Pastel Pencils at £2.75, Caran d'Ache Pastel Pencils at £4.05, and the Pastelmat range — the surface most professional pastel painters choose, available as individual sheets at £11.28, pads from £18.99, and mixed-colour pads from £25.99. All stocked at Craft and Canvas.
Acrylic yarn is dismissed in some knitting circles as the inferior alternative to natural fibre. The reality is more useful than that — a good acrylic has specific strengths that wool cannot match, and for the right projects it is the sensible choice rather than the compromise. In this honest guide we cover what acrylic is genuinely best for (blankets, toys, children's garments, machine-washable gifts, colourwork, beginners), where natural fibre genuinely has the advantage, and why Stylecraft Special DK (43 colours, 100g/295m, £3.15) and Special Chunky (15 colours, £3.15) are the benchmark. Stocked at Craft and Canvas.
