Where to buy paper?

[ebygomm]

I used to buy all my paper at the paper mill shop but my local one has closed down and there isn't another for some distance.

Any suggestions of places in the East Midlands that have a good range of paper? I mainly use plain coloured paper somewhere between 120gsm and 180gsm.

I've looked online, but I really like to be able to touch and feel the paper first :D

Hello - welcome to the forum

Have you asked any of the online suppliers to send you samples?

I'm just north of Nottingham.

I've seen the paper mill shop online and spoken to them too, but at the moment their online store has a very limited amount of paper. There's plenty of card and I can find lots of places that sell card, but it's heavyweight paper I need.

Worth trying Honeypot Crafts - they're on Nuthall Road, close to the Ring Road nr Sherwood.

It's probably way too far, but if you are thinking of going to the paper mill go to an outlet store. The only one I know of is at Cheshire Oaks near Chester. I got two boxes of paper (each equivalent to about 4 reams of copier paper) for £18. This is less than a quarter of the normal price at the other paper mill shops. Might be worth a special trip if you use a lot of paper. I'd check it's still on first though as this was a couple of months ago.

I'll have a look at honeypot crafts, I often drive by but I've never stopped.

The papermill shop that closed down near me was an outlet store, so really missing it. I just used to buy a box of assorted sheets.

Hoping to get to either the cheshire oaks or the York outlet store sometime but could do with some supplies in the interim
