The hours are the thing to plan around
The shop opens Tuesday to Saturday from 10am to 4pm, and until 7pm on Thursdays, which makes Thursday the day for an after-work visit. It is closed on Sundays and Mondays.
Before you go
- Check the closed dates. The shop closes for a few days around needlepoint markets and holidays, and lists the dates on its site.
- 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.
