Needle In A Haystack - Online Catalog; Cross Stitch Designers

If we don't have a designer listed below that you're looking for, be sure to use our Hoffman Merchant Mall pages. Generally we only list designers not available through Hoffman via the search engine below.

You can order anything from Hoffman's inventory through the secure cart. This partnership we have with Hoffman lets you have more options to find the charts you're looking for, especially since they inventory over 20,000 charts! If we don't have the chart in stock you order from their system and we'll add it to our next Hoffman order - what could be easier!

Society of Soie Surfine
....when only the finest will do!

We are pleased to be part of the Society of Soie Surfine, a cooperative of five needlework shops with a love of very fine needlework (as in small). You can read about the Society on our Society News blog. If you wish to purchase a subscription to Series #1 from us you can do so below. The cost is $18 each month for 6 months ($108 total) and entitles you to 1 skein of each of the 5 hand-dyed Soie Surfine colors we release along with a piece of 40 or 45 count custom-dyed linen from Lakeside Linens. You will get either a skein of that month's thread or the fabric (we haven't decided yet when the fabric will come). You don't need to pay for the series up-front, we'll charge each month's release as it is shipped. Please indicate below which fabric count you wish to receive as part of your subscription when it released. Additional fabric will be available to subscribers and we will notify you how to do that at a later date.

We have run out of our first batch of Carmine Rose but more will be coming in early October. We will put you in the queue for the next shipment of our first color. All of the Society Member shops will be getting more of it so don't worry about being left out :-).

We have some pages with all the components you need for a few of our more popular projects. We'll be adding to this list over time.

You can use the box below to search the designer database. Because of how the search is done you will sometimes get more results than you might think. Searching for "alphabet" will get you alphabet and alphabets. This database contains buttons, charts, embellishments, frames and kits by the designers.

If you have not used pull-down lists often all you need to do is to click on the downward facing triangle to see the other items in the list. Most browsers will let you type in the first character and take you to that section of the list, so you don't need to always scroll down to get to the bottom.

The Search for Designers is useful if you want to find a chart, kit or embellment pack by its title, designer or anything else. So you can search for "Scarlet" and it will return charts/kits with that as part of their description. If you want to search for more than one keyword type each keyword in and select whether it should look for ANY of those keywords or ALL of them. A search will return different results depending upon whether you select the ANY or ALL keyword match and sometimes whether or not you enclose it in parentheses. With the search set to ANY you will get matches where either of the keywords exists - a lot more than you probably want. For most search you probably want to search for ALL keywords and that is set as the default.
