We hope you will enjoy our site, which is one of the largest UK online shops for counted cross stitch kits and needlepoint tapestry kits. The selection is based on 30 happy years of retail experience in supplying quality counted needlecraft kits, charts, fabrics and threads from DMC to fellow cross stitch enthusiasts, and listening to their comments.

Our needlepoint tapestry section includes cushion kits from Vervaco, stool tops from Coleshill Collection and needlepoint pillows from Cleopatra's Needle. You will find traditional UK tapestry kits from the Anchor British Collection, Lowry needlepoint from Bothy Threads, longstitch designs by Twilleys and medieval tapestry kits from Margot de Paris.

If you have not done many needlework projects, or would simply enjoy a change from your normal counted work, we have provided two pages where you can get a quick taste of the quality needlecraft kits on offer on this site. To browse through these pages simply click on either tapestry or cross stitch kits or on the Tapestry button, or the Cross Stitch button at the top left side of this page.

There is a site map and on each product page a search button, to help you find particular kits quickly.

We stock all the leading UK designers including cross stitch from Anchor, Derwentwater Designs, Heritage Stitchcraft studios and DMC counted cross stitch and favourites like Disney Winnie the Pooh, Flower Fairies, Hummel, Beatrix Potter and Thomas Kinkade. Our US designs include counted kits from Candamar, Design Works, Dimensions, Janlynn and Sunset and complement European designs from Lanarte and Maria van Scharrenburg. If you don't like counting, then our stamped cross stitch kits are just the thing for you.

There are sections for cross stitch samplers for weddings and baby births, counted book marks, firescreens, wedding cross stitch and tablecloths (both counted and stamped kits). The subjects range from the city of London and stately homes of Britain to cross stitch card kits for your special occasion, and include many small needlework projects.

If you have never attempted counted work and are not sure what is actually involved or where to start, why not click the Tutorial button at the top of the page for our free cross stitch instructions; a resource for new stitchers, where we hope to take you quickly through basic cross stitch, with nice easy diagrams, and introduce you to fabrics, threads and frames.
