The hours are the thing to plan around

The Peachy Needle opens Wednesday to Friday from 10am to 5pm, and Saturday from 10am to 2pm. It is closed from Sunday to Tuesday, and it publishes no late day, so for anyone who works weekdays, Saturday morning is the time to go.

Before you go

• Call ahead. The shop's number is (229) 881-1212.
• Ask about stitch nights. The shop holds them twice a month, alongside its classes.
• Bring the canvas if you have one. Thread and mesh have to be matched to the specific canvas, and nobody can do that from a photograph. See our thread guide for what that pairing involves.
