Craft shops in the North of Island

Hi, does anyone know of any craft shops preferably in the North but if not in the South. I am looking for items to start making candles, melts etc. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks

Thete were a couple of people who made candles, but they used to bring the stuff over from the UK. There are some very good haberdashery shops in Lefkosa old town, and Deniz Plaza on the way to Metehan has lots of acrylic paints, beads, ribbon, raffia etc.

If you Google craft shops in Cyprus, there are a couple Limasol and Larnaca way, do not know any in the North.

As Fatouche has said, the Girne and Lefkosa Deniz Plaza shops have floors devoted to craft materials.... Loads of choice but not sure if candle making stuff is offered as we've never really looked at that craft here... I guess because given the heat candles tend to melt too easily if not absolutely rock solid....

No candle making stuff in Deniz Plaza.
