• Haberdashery
  Notions such as ribbons, threads, trim, buttons, zippers, poppers and all that sort of thing

• Yarns
  UK online yarn stores with an emphasis on British yarns and nice-but-not-horribly-expensive yarns

  Listings of favourite clothes shops gathered together for convenience

• Shoes and other footwear
  All things feet-related – places to buy shoes, socks, tights and that kind of stuff
