Not your typical craft kits company...
Let us explain our range!
We’re a bit different from most craft companies. While many in the needlecraft world tend to stick to one area, like needlepoint or embroidery, we prefer to explore a variety of crafts. We believe that different crafts suit different moods – sometimes you want the slow, patient, almost meditative nature of needlepoint, other times the mindful engagement of embroidery, or perhaps the instant gratification of painting.
Just as most crafters enjoy experimenting with various techniques, so do we. We bring our colourful, maximalist, storytelling aesthetic to a range of crafts. Read on to explore them all or follow the links if you already know which one speaks to you.
Our unique embroidery kits
Our signature collection
First up, we have our core range of embroidery kits, including kits for beginners as well as more advanced stitchers. These kits include everything you need to get started and are designed to celebrate the entire creative process.
Each kit arrives beautifully packaged in our signature book-style boxes, with a thoughtful layout that ensures you’ll enjoy the making experience as much as the final piece. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to refine your skills, our kits are truly unique, helping you create artwork that’s worthy of framing and displaying with pride.

Stitch an heirloom with our tapestry kits
Give yourself a mindful moment with some needlepoint
We’re on a mission to redefine what needlepoint kits can achieve. Our unique tapestry kits are designed to help you create timeless pieces of art that feel like an integral part of your home—so beautiful, no one will guess they came from a kit. Whether you’re new to needlepoint or ready for something more ambitious, we offer a range of options. Our beginner needlepoint kits are perfect for those just starting out, with simple designs that make it easy to get started, even if you've never stitched before. For those looking for a challenge, our advanced needlepoint kits provide larger, more intricate designs that will push your skills further while still being approachable.
Needlepoint is a versatile and enjoyable craft for any experience level, creating sturdy, functional pieces like cushions or stockings that can be passed down through generations. With our kits, you’re not just crafting—you’re creating art that will stand the test of time.

Why do we offer decorative frames?
Learn how to paint-your-own frames
We firmly believe that the right frame can make or break a piece of art, which is why we offer framing options that perfectly complement the pieces you create. After spending hours crafting something beautiful, the last thing you want is for it to end up tucked away in a drawer.
To help you display your work with pride, we provide a few different framing options. You can choose a hand-painted frame, crafted by us in our London studio, or, if you're feeling creative, you can paint your own using our selection of paints, raw frames, and stencils.
Can I teach myself embroidery or painting?
Learn anywhere, anytime that suits you
If you’d prefer not to use a kit and are feeling a bit more adventurous, why not explore our virtual creative courses? At The Fabled Thread, we're passionate about showing that creativity isn’t something you’re just born with – it can be taught, nurtured, and can truly transform lives. Our creative online courses are carefully designed to guide you through each step of the creative process, helping you develop your skills and build confidence as you go. We offer everything from embroidery for beginners, to decorative painting, to freestyle embroidery. With our flexible and inspirational classes, you can learn at your own pace, whenever and wherever suits you, unlocking your creative potential on your own terms.
