Craft supplies in Singapore are scattered across Chinatown arcades, heartland malls and online stores, and each corner leans toward something different. This list covers shops that sell yarn, beads and findings, ribbons and zips, and general needlecraft materials rather than fabric bolts or fine-art paints. Each entry is based on what the shop's own website says it stocks, so use it as a shortlist and not a ranking. Entries are not ordered by quality. Check stock, opening hours and class dates on the shop's own pages before you travel, and contact a seller directly if you need a particular brand, colour or quantity.

1. Golden Dragon Store

Golden Dragon Store describes itself as a handicraft retailer operating since 1949, and its site presents it as a house of hobby and needlecraft supplies. The online catalogue is sorted into yarn and needles, beads and sequins, leather craft, lace and ribbons, sewing and fabrics, and LED or UV resin, with haberdashery sub-sections for items such as fabric glues and dyes. Brand names listed on the site include Clover tools and King Cole yarn. The store says it runs craft workshops, including needle felting and patchwork, and offers wholesale. Its retail counter sits in People's Park Centre, with a separate corporate office listed. Because the range is broad, it suits a first visit when you are unsure which craft to pursue.

A section for Singapore makers carries hand-dyed yarns and handmade goods from local brands.

How to choose

Start from the craft, not the shop. Yarn specialists, bead sellers and ribbon and zip suppliers carry quite different ranges, so decide whether you need fibre, findings or trims before choosing where to go. A shop's own category menu usually shows quickly whether it covers what your project needs.
Look at the brands and materials a shop lists. Fibre content, bead type, hole size and zip length matter more than a general label like craft supplies. If a seller names its brands or materials online, you can compare listings across shops before you buy anything and avoid a wasted trip.
Check whether the shop sells to the public or mainly wholesale. Several Chinatown suppliers serve both, with separate retail and trade contacts. If you only need a small amount, confirm the counter takes walk-in customers and what hours it keeps, since these can differ from the head office.
Ask about classes if you are new. Some shops listed here run workshops in knitting, crochet, beading or sewing, and these can help you buy the right starter materials. Class dates and sign-up methods are posted on each shop's own pages, so check them directly rather than relying on a summary.
Treat online-only sellers as a separate option. A small online yarn dyer or webshop can offer unusual colours or curated ranges, but you cannot feel the fibre first. Read shipping and returns policies on the shop's own site and keep a record of your order details in case of problems.
