What does the needlepoint kit include?

Our kits include everything you need to work the canvas, including high-quality wool (not cotton) yarn.
The pillow/cushion kits do NOT include backing material or pillow filling.

Why are the needlepoint kits so expensive?

Our needlepoint kits are more expensive than the counted cross stitch kits you may be used to. Here's why:

• Our kits have the pattern printed directly onto the canvas, so that you do not have to count stitches or work from a chart.
• Our kits use high-quality Anchor Tapisserie wool which is more expensive than cotton floss or cheaper off-brand wool.
• Most of our kits are larger sized pieces 13" to 17" wide. That means that the canvas area is 4 to 10 times larger than a smaller kit!

How detailed are the instructions?

The instructions with our kits give a brief overview of how to do needlepoint, but mostly focus on the details for the particular kit.

What is special about Primavera needlepoint kits?

Primavera kits are designed in England. They have a distinctively colourful and contemporary feel, with a wide range of unique floral designs plus designs based on a Shaker theme.

In England, Primavera kits are sold at quality retail stores such as Liberty's of London. Now, at last, they are available in the U.S., directly from us.

Do you carry kits from manufacturers other than Primavera?

We now carry Glorafilia needlepoint kits.
