Announcement
From Portugal we bring eco-friendly unique craft supplies and kits that teach craft skills inspired by Portuguese culture.
Folclore crafts celebrates the natural richness of our materials and the ingenuity of Portuguese people’s know-how. We are inspired by the intensity, vibrancy and patterns of our traditional costumes, chintz fabrics or tiles but also by the rustiness and sobriety of our raw materials, cork and wool.
We learn from unique techniques like the manufacturing process of ‘burel’ (a boiled wool fabric), the know how of handcrafting cork or the exquisite skills of the embroiderers.
Handcrafting the Portuguese soul is our drive and we make it real supplying unique craft supplies, inspiring DIY projects and teaching traditional techniques.
Our range of craft supplies includes cork materials, wool fabrics and yarns, embroidery supplies, vintage ribbons, national fabrics, cotton and linen yarns, craft twines, and eco-friendly papers.
Don’t forget... Portugal is the place for diversity, tradition and quality in craft supplies...

5 out of 5 starsI adore this little set of autumn shades - my favorite season - in a gift box covered in Portuguese cork. The seller offered the option of adding a sheet of autumn themed embroidery designs which are adorable and I can’t wait to use them!

5 out of 5 starsBeautiful and festive little set of metallic threads in colors I use very frequently in my projects - especially the red and green! Seller was very friendly, shipped promptly, and included a lovely note on the factory that produces the thread. Definitely would purchase again.

5 out of 5 starsThis item is beautiful and functional, the scissors are fine and sharp, perfect for trimming the threads on my embroidery projects. Also, the seller is very friendly, reached out to ask me my choice of design for the fob, and even gave me the chance to practice my Portuguese! Will definitely purchase from them again, highly recommended! Muito obrigada!

5 out of 5 starsThe shop owner was extremely helpful and went out of her way to source additional items for me that weren't listed in her shop. All items arrived beautifully and thoughtfully packaged - the packaging would make these items a great gift.

5 out of 5 starsThis fabric has an eye-catching, intricate print that will stand out among more common folk shawls and scarves. The colors in the print are deep and saturated. The fabric has a crisp drape and will be easy to hem. Highly recommend!
Gabi responded on Mar 20, 2024
The best description ever!!! I would have loved to be able to describe it as beautifully as you did!! Thanks

5 out of 5 starsThis is an extremely high quality material for creating folk scarves and wraps. The print is bright and even, and the fabric is a lovely crepe texture with a soft drape. The photos don't do justice to the amazing fabric. Simply hem the fabric and you'll have an amazing accessory.
Gabi responded on Mar 20, 2024
They are beautiful, and I'm sure you'll use them the best way possible!! Thanks for the words!

Years ago I moved from college teaching to yarns and needles. Researching about Portuguese traditional embroidery, I discovered unique materials that inspired me to show our country as an example of diversity, tradition and quality in craft supplies.
