Finding the right bolt of fabric in Toronto usually means picking between a warehouse-sized store with everything under one roof and a specialist who actually knows the material. G.K Fashion Fabrics alone has logged 870 reviews at a 4.9 average, and the fabric shops here range from a converted North York showroom to a Bloor Street knit shop, so the real decision is which kind of shopping trip you want to make.

Short answer: The top-rated fabric shop in Toronto is G.K Fashion Fabrics (4.9 stars, 870 reviews), prized for wholesale-priced fashion fabric and fast shipping. Len's Mill Store is the biggest by review volume (921) for its huge one-stop selection, while Leather & Sewing Supply Depot (4.7, 397 reviews) is the specialist for leather, zippers and repairs.

Our take: Best for knitters and quilters who want a curated selection over sheer volume. It ranks lowest of this group on rating, mostly from a handful of pointed customer-service complaints rather than product quality.

fabric fabric

4.4331 Google reviews

fabric fabric is a Keele Street fabric retailer with an especially large in-store selection, plus an online shop for home delivery. It carries a wide range of dress and quilting fabric alongside upholstery and window-treatment material, and offers in-house reupholstery work for customers bringing in furniture. The name doubles as the pitch: if you need fabric, this is a store built around volume.

What people praise

  • Aisles of stock covering nearly any fabric type customers are searching for
  • Staff help hunt down specific fabrics rather than leaving shoppers to search alone
  • Online orders arrive well packaged and match the website description
  • Repeat customers for both fabric purchases and reupholstery work

Worth knowing

  • A couple of reviewers report disputes over reupholstery material and cushion fill
  • Selection of leather is more limited than the fabric range

Watch: 5 Best Fabric Shops in Toronto (2026)

How we rank these shops

Every number here comes from public Google data pulled on the date shown, never from opinion or payment. Rating is the shop’s live Google star average. Review volume measures how many customers have rated them, compared against other Toronto fabric shops. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.9 built on hundreds of reviews counts for more than a 4.9 from a handful. Recency reflects how recently people are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

What does fabric cost in Toronto?

Fabric pricing swings widely by fibre and finish, from basic cotton to specialty leather and designer prints, and none of the shops above publish a single standard price list. The main factors that move the price per yard are fibre content, whether it’s imported or locally sourced, and how limited the print run is.

Fabric shopping across Toronto

These fabric shops sit across North York, Old Toronto and downtown, including the Orfus Road fabric district, Spadina Avenue, Bloor Street West and Keele Street near Bloor West Village. Searching for a fabric shop near me? Every listing here shows a live phone number, address and hours so you can find the closest option fast.

What to ask before you buy fabric

  • Can I get a swatch before ordering a full cut, especially for colour-sensitive projects?
  • What’s the fibre content and care instructions for this fabric?
  • Do you offer a discount for buying a full bolt or the remainder of one?
  • Is this fabric in stock in-store, or does it need to be ordered in?
  • What’s your return or exchange policy on cut fabric?
  • Do you offer repair or alteration services alongside fabric sales?

Frequently asked questions

How did you choose these fabric shops?

We started from Toronto fabric shops with a public Google presence, then ranked by rating, review volume, consistency and recency. See How we rank these shops above.

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from the public Google data in the scorecard. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another business’s score or position on the underlying data.

How often is this updated?

The data carries a verified date (August 2026 on this page). We refresh listings periodically so ratings and review counts stay current.

Can I order fabric online from these shops instead of visiting in person?

Several shops here, including G.K Fashion Fabrics, fabric fabric and Leather & Sewing Supply Depot, run online stores with shipping across Canada and beyond.

Which fabric shop has the widest selection in Toronto?

Len’s Mill Store is the most-reviewed shop on this list and carries fabric, yarn, notions and home goods together in one large store.

The bottom line

G.K Fashion Fabrics is the safe default if you’re ordering fashion fabric online, while Len’s Mill Store is the better bet if you want to browse a huge in-person selection. For leather, repairs or upholstery, go straight to the specialists instead.
