Where to buy fabric haberdashery and wool Vélo Pays Basque

Sisters Céline and Elodie "fell into it" as little girls, in the world of wool, embroidery and knitting. They represent a wool-spinning dynasty in the Pyrenees. Their mission is to dust off the traditional haberdashery with professional advice and a wide range of fabrics and wools. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced sewer, you'll find the right advice for all your sewing projects, an activity that's more in vogue than ever!

This nugget, hosted by Sabine, will appeal to more than one mom, granny and, why not, dad. It's all about the softness of wool, embroidery, plaids, bathrobes, extra warm, extra soft fleeces... There's something for all ages and tastes, with the quality and expertise of French craftsmen at the forefront of this small boutique, just a stone's throw from the historic center. You'll also find household linen, personalized script chairs and towels. Custom embroidery for logos and other motifs.

Behind the window of the Esku Lanak retail haberdashery, "le travail des mains", is a sewing and alteration workshop that offers sewing classes for beginners and above. Above all, it is a place of sharing and conviviality, where Myriam and her brigade initiate you and advise you on the different methods. Each "apprentice" sewer has a sewing machine and can design pieces, as well as make alterations on new and old clothes.
