Northgate Needlecraft

Northgate Needlecraft has been established for 19 years. We have specialised in hard-to-find needlework supplies and have built up an extensive range of fabric and threads. We also carry cross-stitch and counted thread designs by a wide range of designers in both kit and chart form. Books and leaflets on all types of embroidery, such as goldwork and shadow work, are also available

The Elizabeth Anderson range of jewellery is also in stock, which includes earrings, brooches and watches. Though you do have to work on fairly fine fabric to complete the jewellery, the silk gauze is easier to work than you might think.

We also have a stitching room - or sitting area, if you prefer - where we supply husbands and partners with tea and coffee while you take time to browse around the shop, although you are equally as welcome to come and sit and sew and enjoy a drink with us.

We hold classes fortnightly that are for all ages and abilities and vary according to customer demand. Our current class is a sampler of drawn and pulled thread stitches, and in the past we have tackled silk ribbon embroidery, hardanger and counted thread samplers. We usually work one Just Nan class sampler each year - these are only available to do through class workshops. If you are interested in a particular type of embroidery and would like us to run a class, then please contact us and we will do our best to arrange one.
