Mill Outlet Village, Raleigh's oldest and best-known fabric retailer, was established in 1958. With two other locations in New Bern and Wilmington, the store has earned a reputation for offering the largest fabric selection in eastern North Carolina, and for having reasonable prices. Customers come from near and far to take advantage of the amazing deals at their stores.
The 25,000 sq.ft. store offers a gorgeous selection of drapery, upholstery, and dress fabrics, as well as area rugs and accessories. Customers describe it as a "rare opportunity for the sublime" with a "history of fabric from when North Carolina was a textile state." The management and staff are praised for their rediscovered art of customer service.
Reviewers highlight the store's excellent organization, wide range of apparel fabrics, and friendly, helpful staff. It's a favorite destination for both seasoned and novice sewing enthusiasts, who appreciate the vast selection, discounted fabrics, and even reupholstered furniture and accessories available. A true treasure trove for anyone interested in design and fabric history.
Everyone there was so kind and helpful. Especially Carolyn, she was extatic about helping me with finding what I need for my project. I WILL be back for more!

They have cloth, foam, accents, mirrors, lamps, and they can make cushions for your couch and valances. There are lots and lots of fabric, very helpful staff, and lots of samples, swatches, demos, and clearance items to give you inspiration.

Very clean and well organized. Not as large a selection as I hoped for. Prices seem a bit high. I did purchase material to make bench seating and back pillows. Staff is friendly and helpful.
