Needlepoint Shops in Columbia

One shop we can confirm, Forest Acres Needlepoint on North Beltline Boulevard, about three miles northeast of downtown.

Columbia has one needlepoint shop we can confirm. Forest Acres Needlepoint is on North Beltline Boulevard, about three miles northeast of downtown, with canvases, accessories, classes, and trunk shows.

That makes this a short page, and the planning is all about the hours.

North Beltline Boulevard

The hours are the thing to plan around

The shop opens Tuesday to Saturday from 10am to 3pm, the same hours every day it opens, so there is no late day for an after-work visit. Plan on a weekday morning or a Saturday.

Before you go

• Call ahead. With one shop in the city, there is no second option if the hours have changed.
• 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.
