If you're looking for fabulous crewel kits, we suggest you order from The Crewel Work Company in England. We no longer stock their kits but we highly recommend them.

We stock several silk ribbon embroidery books as well as a selection of silk ribbon from Dinky Dyes and Gloriana Threads ).

If you're looking for wool for Crewel work we carry Appleton Crewel as well as Au Ver à Soie® Fine d'Aubusson and Gloriana Lorikeet.

For Goldwork we carry a number of threads - Gilt Sylke Twist, Smooth Passing Threads #4 (Silk Core), Gold or Silver Wire, Pearl Purls and Silk Wrapped Purls. You'll find them in our online catalog.

If you want to create your own designs we have Water Erasable, Air Erasable, Iron-On Transfer Pencils and Sulky Iron-On Transfer pens for making up your own pattern. If you don't want to transfer your design to fabric you can also use Sulky Paper Solvy or Sulky Sticky Solvy. Print on the material, apply it to your fabric, stitch through it and when done, use water to dissolve it.

For fabric - we stock linen twill from Ulster Linen and Angus Weavers as well as a number of other embroidery fabrics (Schwalm, Ecclesiastical, etc.). You can also create your own embroidery on bags, clothing, towels, etc.

We carry Hardwicke Manor embroidery hoops as well as scroll frames and slate frames.
