    • What's included in a needlepoint kit?

      Everything you need to get started

      Each kit includes a bespoke sewing bag, the design printed on the canvas, pre-cut lengths of wool, needles and detailed instructions.

      Needlepoint is about as relaxing as embroidery as the whole design is stitched in one stitch onto a pre-printed canvas. Almost like colouring by numbers! With no complicated stitches to learn, this stitching gives you the opportunity to completely switch off and unwind, whilst creating a cushion to last a lifetime.

    • Finishing your stocking

      What materials do you need?

      It can be overwhelming knowing where to begin when deciding how to finish your stocking, so we wanted to make this process simpler with a carefully curated range of finishing materials. We stock backing fabrics, tassel kits and a range of piping to make up your stocking. Alternatively, we work with a seamstress who can make up your stockings for you - find out more about that here.

    • Our how-to video guides

      How-to guides

      When we send a kit to you, that's just the first part of your stitching journey. Don't worry - you aren't going to be abandoned to work out how to make it! We have a video guide, which will show you the key stitching stages, so if you are picking up a needle for the first time, we will guide you the whole time. We never get questions about how to do our kits and believe that is the best sign for how easy they are to complete!
