I had such a lovely experience here today! I walked in knowing nothing about needlepoint but wanting to learn. Everyone was super helpful-especially one woman (whose name I regretfully can’t remember) but was the mother and grandmother to many there. She walked me through everything and was a great teacher and sat with me for as long as I was able to stay-I wish I was able to stay longer but look forward to returning!

Great shop. And the most helpful owner. I needed some obscure wool product and I was taken to the basement and shown an exhaustive supply of wool product. The owner, Cindy, is a gem . You wont be disappointed. sylvia
