What our clients say about us
Our skilled team is here and ready to help whenever you need assistance
The Milward crochet hooks are absolutely stunning, featuring a beautiful rose gold color that instantly catches the eye. I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly they arrived — even though they were shipped from the UK, the delivery was much faster than expected. The quality of these hooks is impressive; they feel smooth, comfortable in the hand, and perfectly balanced for long crocheting sessions. I purchased this set as an extra to keep in my travel bag, so I don’t have to worry about misplacing a hook while on the go — and honestly, I love them so much that they could easily become my main set. The craftsmanship is excellent, and the hooks glide effortlessly through yarn without snagging. Milward has truly managed to deliver professional-grade tools at a price that’s more than reasonable. Compared to much more expensive brands, these perform just as well, if not better. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced crocheter, I think you’ll be delighted with this set. It’s perfect for everyday use, travel, or even as a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves to crochet
Jean Stinich
The thread rack has a nice overall design, but I wish the spindles were a bit stronger and more flexible so they could be removed or replaced when needed. Unfortunately, larger 5000m spools tend to be too heavy for them — they either don’t fit properly or risk snapping off the neighboring spindles. Because of this, the rack is really only ideal for smaller, domestic sewing threads rather than for industrial or embroidery use. I originally purchased it to store and display my embroidery threads for a multihead machine, but it didn’t quite meet those expectations. The metal wall-mounting brackets are solid, and the wooden frame feels sturdy and well-constructed, which is definitely a plus. However, once mounted on the wall, the spools stick straight out, which makes it easy for them to slide off. The angle of the spindles could have used a bit more upward tilt to hold the threads securely in place. It’s a lovely rack for lighter threads and smaller collections, but it’s not quite practical for professional or heavy-duty embroidery use. With a few design adjustments, especially stronger and adjustable spindles, it could easily become an excellent all-purpose storage rack

I absolutely love these Milward quilting clappers — they have completely transformed the way I press and shape my quilting blocks. The craftsmanship is outstanding, and the wood feels smooth, solid, and perfectly weighted, allowing for even pressure every time. I had used standard clappers before and was content, but after discovering these square clappers designed specifically for quilters, there’s simply no comparison. They give my seams a crisp, professional finish that makes my quilting projects look flawless. I first purchased the small size to test it out and was so impressed that I immediately added the large one to my collection. Both sizes are thoughtfully designed for different quilting needs, making them versatile and practical. The surface of the wood retains just the right amount of heat and moisture for perfect pressing results. I also appreciate the balance and size, which make them easy to handle even during long quilting sessions. These are not just tools — they’re essential companions for any serious quilter. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone who wants to elevate the quality and precision of their sewing projects

These tools are made exactly the way they should be — with properly tempered steel of the correct gauge that feels strong, reliable, and built to last. You can immediately tell the difference in quality the moment you pick them up. Unlike the flimsy, bargain-bin versions you might find at places like Poundland, these don’t bend or warp the moment you apply pressure. They hold their shape perfectly, even with frequent and heavy use, which makes them ideal for anyone who values durability and precision. It’s refreshing to find a product that actually delivers what it promises — solid construction and dependable performance. I’ve tried cheaper options in the past, and they always end up in the bin after a few uses. With these, I know I’m getting tools that will serve me well for years, not weeks. The craftsmanship really stands out, showing that Milward takes quality seriously rather than cutting corners. Honestly, I’m done wasting money on cheap trash that fails right away. Spend a little more and buy these — they’re absolutely worth every penny
