About Us

Hi, I’m Gillian Harris (not Gladrag!) - founder, maker, felting guru, yarn-curator and general head of FLUFF at Gilliangladrag. I’ve been a textile artist for 30+ years, author of several felting books, including currently available “Felting Fabulous Flowers”...

...designer of all our kits, and occasional teacher of celebrities (yes, I once taught Joey Essex to felt on Sunday Brunch - chaotic, but funny).

We began in 2001 and opened our real-life shop in 2010, first in Dorking and now in Betchworth. With my brilliant team of Elves, we’ve become TEAM FLUFF - sourcing beautiful yarns, fibres, haberdashery, kits, books and gifts from all over the world.

Where to Find Us

Our colourful Fluff-a-torium sits in Betchworth, near Dorking in Surrey - just an hour from London. Open online 24/7 and in-store Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays & Saturdays 10-5. (We are shut on Bank Holidays though.) Our full address is : The Cart Shed, Stoney Croft Farm, Chalkpit Lane, Betchworth, RH3 7EZ. Phone : 01306 898144

What We Do

We specialise in knitting, crochet, felting, weaving, stitching, sewing, spinning, punch needle and all things textile. We stock mountains of yarn, fibres (including 70+ colours of Merino tops!), tools, kits, and inspiring bits and bobs to fuel your next handmade adventure.

Studio & Courses

Next door is our bright, joyful studio where we run workshops in felting, knitting, crochet, weaving, dyeing and more. Plus loads of free tutorials and online courses if you’re further afield.

Worldwide FLUFF

If you can’t quite persuade your other half to holiday in Betchworth (rude), fear not - we ship worldwide, and have lots of free tutorials on YouTube on our Gilliangladrag Channel.

Enjoy exploring - may you discover something wonderfully fluffy to inspire your next beautiful make.
