Needlepoint is a form of hand embroidery that uses a canvas and threads to create a design or pattern. Specifically, a counted form of embroidery — which means it is stitched on a canvas that has designated holes for your needle to go through (a grid).

We offer a wide range of needlepoint kits, canvases, threads, and accessories from top designers and artisans.

That's what we're here for! Our knowledgeable staff can help you choose a canvas based on your skill level, personal style, and preferences. We also offer custom canvases for more unique projects. Browse our website to find something that interests you!

Yes, we offer professional finishing services for completed needlepoint canvases.

The time it takes to complete a project depends on the size, complexity, and your own pace. However, needlepointing is meant to be a relaxing and meditative activity, so take your time and enjoy the process! A good rule of thumb is an inch an hour!

Our nonjudgmental classes and supportive community are here to help. We also offer private lessons for more personalized instruction as well as resources from stitch guides and books to videos to make it easy to learn.

The mesh count is the number of holes in a linear inch. 18-mesh (18 holes to the inch) allows for more stitching detail, while 13-mesh (13 holes to the inch) can be easier to see and quicker to stitch.

For 18 mesh canvas, we recommend size 22 needles. However, some people prefer size 24 needles. For 13/14 mesh we use size 20 needles and for size 10/12 mesh we use size 18 needles. In general, your needle should slide through the canvas mesh easily without pushing aside the canvas threads.

A good beginner project is one that is not too large in size and a that design does not have too many colors. If you are not sure where to start the best bet would be to grab a kit that includes the painted canvas, threads and a needle. This will take away the guesswork.

• Stitch guides are created when a stitcher completes a canvas and carefully notes what stitch and threads were used. This way the canvas can be re-created the same beautiful way. If you purchase a canvas with a stitch guide, you can choose to follow it, or use your own stitches and threads.
• Unless stated in the description, most of our canvases do not come with stitch guides. You can shop for canvases with stitch guides here.
• If you purchase a canvas and ask us to kit it for you, we would be happy to provide you with stitch suggestions for the major areas. These guides will refer to stitches found in popular books like Stitches To Go.

• Stitch printed designs are not handpainted. They are printed using state of the art printing technology. Occasionally it may not be 100% clear what color should be used on a canvas intersection. And the colors may not be as vibrant as a handpainted design. Printed designs tend to be less expensive than Hand Painted canvases.
• Hand Painted designs normally are stitched painted (meaning every intersection clearly shows the color meant for that design). Ocassionally they can be painted more like a painting, with curves and gradients. There will often be intersections with two colors, so you will need to choose which color will look better to follow the design.

Kitting is when threads are chosen for a canvas. When you pick out a canvas, you must also indicate what types of threads, if any, you would like it to come with. We pull threads for each canvas based on your selection.

• If the product you're interested doesn't specify threads, they are not included.
• If you want to specify the threads you'd like included in your order, please add them to the order notes in the cart.

Please add a note to your order under notes in the cart — before checkout letting us know whatever instructions you may have. Or contact us here.
