#3Swedish-made fabrics
Sewing notions
Husqvarna VIKING, PFAFF and Singer machines
Swedish-made fabrics sit alongside sewing essentials and machines from Husqvarna VIKING, PFAFF and Singer at Söder Fabrics. The combination suits shoppers gathering materials for a sewing project, comparing equipment or searching for a finishing component, with help available when weighing up fabrics, colours and where the textiles come from.
#4Art supplies
DIY gifts
Central Stockholm location
A central Stockholm location and an organised layout make Kreatima useful for replenishing art materials or browsing for DIY gifts. The assortment spans several creative categories and price levels, giving occasional makers and artists scope to compare supplies for an everyday task or a project that needs more consideration.
#5Yarn selection
Project-based yarn guidance
Choosing yarn for a particular project is part of the support available at Litet nystan in Stockholm. Alongside its selection of yarns, the shop offers guidance for makers who are still deciding on colour, texture or fibre, as well as those arriving with a knitting project already in mind.
#6Drawing and painting supplies
Knitting materials
Hobby essentials
Drawing, painting and knitting materials share the shelves at Slöjd-Detaljer, alongside supplies for other hobbies. The spacious Stockholm store suits makers gathering items for several crafts in one visit, with room to browse and guidance available when a project leaves you choosing between different materials or products.
#7Wood strips and cork
Modelling clay
Model accessories
Material AB brings together a varied craft selection in Stockholm, including paint, wood, metal, modelling clay, stationery, model accessories and unusual gift items. The range is particularly useful when a project calls for materials beyond standard paper and paint, with products such as wood strips, cork and practical hobby components.
The shop works well for makers, model enthusiasts and creative shoppers looking for variety at generally reasonable prices. Delivery, in-store shopping and pick-up provide flexibility, while on-site services support a quick, practical visit. The combination of physical stock and delivery makes it worth checking the specific item or collection method for your project before travelling.
#8Children’s craft materials
Creative gifts
Finished creations on display
Children’s creativity shapes the selection at Pompom, where craft materials and project ideas sit alongside inspiration from completed creations. Families can browse for a making activity, while adults choosing a creative gift can get help finding a project or material suited to the young maker they have in mind.
#9Swedish handicrafts
Locally made artisan objects
Rotating artist presence
Castor Konsthantverk in Stockholm presents Swedish handicrafts made and selected directly through local artisans. This is a small, characterful shop where the emphasis is on distinctive workmanship, beautiful objects and a sense of connection to the people behind them.
The collection suits visitors seeking a meaningful gift or a memorable piece rather than a conventional craft-supply shop. On-site service adds to the personal feel, while the rotating presence of the artists gives the store an especially direct, handmade character.
#10Glue, beads and paint
Children’s activity supplies
Home project materials
Glue, beads, paint and other everyday materials make this Panduro a practical stop for children’s activities and home projects. The selection suits someone trying a hobby or gathering a few supplies for an afternoon of making, while experienced crafters seeking specialist materials may find fewer options for demanding work.
#11Pearler beads and glue
Home craft supplies
Stock indicator
This Stockholm Panduro branch offers a well-organised selection of dependable craft essentials for home projects, children’s activities and casual hobby work. Pearler beads, glue and similar basics are easy to combine into a quick creative purchase, while the layout keeps browsing straightforward.
A useful feature is the practical stock indicator, which can help you check whether the materials needed for a specific project are likely to be available before setting out. The selection is broad enough for everyday crafting, though more specialised makers may find it intentionally focused rather than extensive.
#12Miniature gaming and painting
Starter sets
First-miniature painting support
Miniature gaming and painting are the focus at Warhammer, with settings including Warhammer 40,000, Warriors of Chaos and Blood Bowl. Starter sets and beginner resources give newcomers a place to begin, while help choosing components and learning to paint a first miniature supports those getting acquainted with the hobby.
#13Acrylic paint
Fabric selection
Ready-made craft kits
Panduro Hobby AB offers a generous Stockholm selection of art and craft supplies, making it easy to assemble a project in one stop. Acrylic paint is a practical value choice, while the fabric section offers several options when you need a small piece quickly rather than a large specialist range.
The shop is especially convenient for spontaneous creative purchases and ready-made kits. Its broad assortment includes plenty of playful materials, but some categories, particularly fabric, can feel expensive compared with online alternatives. In-store shopping and quick visits are central strengths for makers who value immediate access.
#14Magnets, mugs and postcards
Traditional Swedish objects
Seasonal decorations
Magnets, mugs and postcards share space with traditional Swedish objects and seasonal decorations at Arras Tyger & Tidlösa Ting AB. The Stockholm shop combines familiar souvenirs with keepsakes that have a handmade touch, giving visitors several directions to explore when choosing a gift or a reminder of their trip.
#15Family craft materials
Games for different ages
Children’s craft ideas
Materials for family activities sit alongside games and craft ideas for different age groups at Panduro Hobby. Parents gathering supplies for a creative weekend can browse organised shelves for a spontaneous project or a larger activity, though moving through the aisles can take some initiative when the shop is busy.

For businesses
The map
Stockholm’s craft stores cover broad creative shopping as well as more focused trips for model-making, DIY and less usual materials. Compare the type of project before choosing where to start. For a quick purchase, prioritise a convenient store with the essentials you need. Larger or more specialist projects benefit from checking stock and collection options before making the journey.
Panduro is a practical starting point for beginners because it is associated with family craft activities and accessible project supplies. Before buying, make a short list of the materials you need and ask whether a starter kit or simpler alternative would suit your first project better.
Material AB is suited to model-making and practical DIY projects. It is also a useful option when you need less usual craft materials rather than standard beginner supplies. Bring the project details with you, including dimensions or material type, and confirm availability before making a dedicated trip.
Panduro locations are suited to family craft activities, children’s activities and family weekend projects. They can work well when several people need approachable materials for a shared activity. Choose supplies according to age, supervision and cleanup needs, then confirm that the items you want are available before visiting.
Material AB is associated with quick collection of specific supplies, while other stores may be better for browsing or comparing materials across different hobbies. Check the exact item, size and collection status before travelling. This is especially useful when one missing component is holding up a project.
First-time miniature painters should look for a store that can cover the basics without making the shopping list unnecessarily complicated. A specialist or broad craft shop may work depending on the miniature and finish you want. Ask about suitable paints, brushes and preparation materials, and confirm that the range matches your chosen project.
