I cannot say enough about The Forest Needle. The variety and depth of fibers is amazing. I travel a lot and visit needlepoint stores along the way and am often disappointed with the limited choices. It reinforces how fortunate we are to have this gem in our backyard!! It is worth the trek and visit. Town is lovely - so make it a day if you do not live in the area. You will not be disappointed.
The classes, and the amazing amount of canvases is wonderful. The owner and ladies that work there are extremely knowledgeable and helpful. They spend time with each customer and offer ideas and solutions to questions.
I know finishing has been a negative in the past, but that was quite awhile ago and they are using a new finisher that does wonderful work.

A big “Thank You” to The Forest Needle for their exceptional service!! I do not have a local NPS & have anticipated visiting this gem on my trips to Chicago. This is a beautiful high end shop with loads of canvases, fibers, embellishments, accessories, and inspiring store displays. Situated in a lovely community with parking in front, the welcoming storefront location and helpful staff has earned my repeat business. This is a not-to-be-missed shop!
